This was a really good thriller with a twist I didn't see coming! Adam works as a screenwriter and often get absorbed in his job. This plays a big part in the plot, as well as Adam's face blindness. More than that I don't want to reveal. 😉
Amelia and Adam exchange chapters, which allow us to get both point of views on the story. Eventually there's a third voice added, Robin. It makes you wonder what part she plays in all of this, and how she's related to the couple. A very nice setup!
There's a reason I don't give the book five stars, but to reveal that would be a huge spoiler, so I won't. Still recommend this book highly for those who enjoy psychological thrillers that evoke feelings of discomfort! This was my first Alice Feeney read, but probably not the last!

   I thought the letters were interesting, watching their lives fall apart you could say. I didn't really care about the present time in the chapel. I didn't think the story was scary or thrilling in anyway. The plot twist was interesting, but that just it. I didn't want a book that was just interesting. I wanted a thriller that made me sit on the edge of my seat. I wanted a book that I couldn't put down. This book wasn't that.
   I didn't guess the plot twist at the end, but I didn't really care. I wasn't invested in the story. I just felt like this book was such a flop.
