ecdereus's review against another edition
3.0
Inderdaad een zeer verrassend plot. Toch ben ik in zijn totaliteit niet heel enthousiast over dit boek. Ik vond het bij tijden nogal langdradig en er werd behoorlijk uitgeweid over de economische en zakelijke belangen van Jason. Het verhaal wordt voornamelijk verteld door Angela, de echtgenote en het hoofdpersonage, in de ik-vorm en door rechercheur Corinne Duncan in de derde persoon, met tussendoor wat kortere emailberichten of korte verslagen van of naar bijvoorbeeld advocaten. Ondanks de ik-vorm kreeg ik totaal geen binding met Angela en bleef het allemaal erg afstandelijk.
Wat mij betreft nogal teleurstellend. Ik had er meer van verwacht.

Well I’ll be. I was a little annoyed with Angela and then kind of ashamed that I was annoyed. Over all this was a good read. My rating is 3.5 rounded up.

OK so it didn't end exactly like i thought it was gonna so i'm not gonna one star it, but i'm conflicted over a full 5 stars because i can't decide if I like the way it turned out or nah. I just am not a fan of books written post #metoo movement that incorporate #metoo elements and then make the women be liars or at fault. like, the whole point is that women have been demonized or assumed to be lying about coming forth for forever and we're supposed to be finally believing them so a man writing a story where they are lying about being sexually assaulted feels wrong. on the other hand, damn did it suck me in and take me for a wild ride. I couldn't put it down really. so we're gonna go with 3 stars at the moment, i may bump up to 4 as i think about it more. we'll see.

I like these sorts of books where you keep guessing what is going on, and you actually have a chance of getting it right!
So good. So so good.

See all my book reviews here:
Jason and Angela meet while she is catering a dinner party in East Hampton. What starts as a short fling blossoms into a full blown romance ending in a marriage the following summer. Angela was happy to have a fresh start and to forget her tragic past. Six years later life is still great between them, including Jason’s bestselling book and growing media career. Until one day an intern makes an accusation against him that could change their life. As things come to light, she begins questioning her husband and doing everything to keep herself (and her secrets) out of the spotlight. I really enjoyed this book, especially because it included an unreliable narrator, which always makes for a page-turner! This book is full of twists (in the best way) and I’m always questioning which character can be trusted!
