Just the Nicest Couple, by Mary Kubica
3.0
Just the Nicest Couple is the first Mary Kubica book I’ve read. And it was a solid thriller, if not the most interesting one I’ve ever read.
The story starts off in the woods with someone fighting for their life.
From there, the story is told from Christian and Nina’s points of view. Christian has come home to find his pregnant wife, Lily, has been attacked in the woods by Nina’s doctor husband, Jake. Lily, in defending herself, may have left Jake to die in the woods. But she’s not sure.
Nina and Jake have had a fight due to her increasing time spent with her mother, who is in poor health. When Jake doesn’t come home from work, Nina thinks he’s left her.
As the story unfolds, it becomes apparent that the stories being told aren’t what they seem. Christian and Lily may have secrets they haven’t shared, and Jake may not be the good doctor that Nina believes he is.
And throughout the story, the reader is left guessing where is Jake?
I loved the twists and turns as more details were revealed throughout this story. It definitely kept me turning the pages. I did think the ending sort of fizzled out which left me a little disappointed.
Overall, I enjoyed this book and will read more from Mary Kubrica. I was able to read and discuss as an early read with Cindy from @thoughtsfromapage , which I always enjoy.
Thank you to #netgalley and the publisher for the early e-copy of #justthenicestcouple .
