A review by agrippinaes
Fool Me Once by Harlan Coben

3.0

I found it ridiculously readable and engaging. The plot is interesting, full of twists and turns - I’d say a major incident in every single chapter and I would say Coben doesn’t waste any writing space on filler whatsoever. The result, as I’ve said, is really readable.

I thought Maya was a really compelling main character - I wouldn’t say that I liked her, because there was a lot about her personality that didn’t work for me, but she was a strong narrator and I enjoyed reading things from her perspective.

Whilst it was readable, there was something about the writing style that I wasn’t sure that I liked - I can’t put my finger on it. I just found as I read it that I wasn’t sure I was actually enjoying it, I mostly just wanted to know what happened.

I would recommend it if you want a fast-paced, exciting suspense novel with a solid, twisting mystery and an interesting main character.
