Amelia and Adam Wright win a weekend away to Scotland. They are hoping that things will get better with their marriage. One of them knows that they didn't randomly win this trip. Someone doesn't want them to live happily ever after. Both of them have secrets and one of them will not be going home. This is the 2nd book by Alice Feeney that I have read.

EadieB She is the queen of twists and this one does not disappoint. I found Amelia and Adam not very likable. The ending was a complete surprise to me. I now feel as though I need to read Feeney's other books. If you like domestic thrillers, then you will like this book. I found it very unpredictable. 3y

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 3y

Rock Paper Scissors: A Novel | Alice Feeney

Rock Paper Scissors is such a popular thriller right now, but for me it was just…meh. First of all, I guessed the big twist from about page 15. And it wasn‘t really that good of a twist. Building up a plot for an entire novel, just to say “whoops let‘s switch that” right at the end feels like a cheap shot. All of these basic thrillers follow the same pattern and this one was no different. #rockpaperscissors #popcornthriller

I read Rock Paper Scissors over two busy days, and I really enjoyed the creepy, winter atmosphere that the story played out in! I do think that all the characters are just terrible, and to be honest could have done without the ending chapter, but it was an enjoyable read! #botm #rockpaperscissors #septemberreads

Rock Paper Scissors: A Novel | Alice Feeney

I‘m having a much harder time with this one than I have with any of her others; I don‘t always love her plots, but usually, they‘re still page-turners. I‘ve been working on this one for days and am still only 80 pages in, and am finding that at this point, I don‘t particularly like or care about these people. Is it just me? 😬 #rockpaperscissors #alicefeeney

TheNerdyProfessor I have about 40 pages left and still feel this way ... I don't like any of the characters. And each chapter feels like the same "something spooky happens but also one of us is lying about who we are'. 3y

actualdisneyprincess @TheNerdyProfessor exactly!!!! I just hit ~the big twist~ and like…it feels like a cop-out and totally convoluted. (I might just be salty I didn‘t actually figure it out but also…so convoluted.) 3y
