I was disappointed by this book. I thought the concept was ok, but there are a lot of major holes in the plot that are supposed to make you question a character but comes across as the author just changing plot directions half way through the plot. I guessed the plot twist and didn’t like that the ending was very abrupt. One page, the plot twist was happening and then the next page it’s 6 months in the future without any warning.

I need to ruminate on this a bit more, but I hated the last chapter. 

Rock Paper Scissors 

Rock, Paper, Scissors by Alice Feeny 

4/5 ⭐️

“What he doesn’t know, is that if things don’t go according to plan, only one of us will be going home.” 

Something is very wrong in Mr. and Mrs. Wright’s marriage, and a weekend away in a remote location should be just the remedy, right? But once the couple arrives at the mysterious converted chapel at Blackwater Loch, they quickly realize something is amiss. 

Told with alternating points of view from equally unstable and unreliable narrators, Rock, Paper, Scissors is a gripping, slow-burn thriller you’re sure to enjoy!

I had most of it figured out quicker than expected, but it kept my attention throughout and surprised a couple times.
