One Perfect Couple
By: Ruth Ware
5/5 Stars
This is the best thriller I have read in a long time. I am currently reading 2 other books - one from my all-time favorite author, Stephen King, and another for a book club I'm a part of. This book should have been on the back burner... but it wasn't, because the second I started it, I couldn't put it down. I found myself getting short-tempered with my children for asking totally reasonable requests because it was so hard to step away from this storyline for even a few minutes. I devoured this book in one day, and I would do it all over again if I could. You know how sometimes you find yourself really engrossed in a thriller, only to get to the end feeling a little underwhelmed and unsatisfied? This is not the case with this book as every part of the story is so captivating. From the characters to the storyline to the setting... I absolutely loved it. I also love that Ware didn't seem to try too hard with twists or with trying to include some unrealistic turn, just to elicit some jaw-drops. It was perfectly shocking, captivating, and unique... the way all thrillers should be crafted.
Ware's legacy precedes her. I know a lot of people love her novels. And while I can't say that I've read all of her works, I think I can confidently assume that this will always remain my favorite of hers. I don't know how it could be beat. It isn't often that this mom of 2 shirks all responsibilities for the day in order to consume a book in one sitting. It's just that good.
*Thank you to netgalley and this author for allowing me to read and review such a remarkable novel.*
