This book has been coming up in suggestions for me for a while, and I’ve always passed it by until now. WOW, am I ever glad I finally gave it a chance! This was a fantastic book.
First of all, the way the book was written was unique and interesting. Normally I’m not a huge fan of time jumps, as it often breaks momentum for me. This time, however, they fueled the momentum. The “letters” were carefully constructed with clever and effective red herrings and just enough insight into the couple’s past to have you constantly rethinking what’s actually happening.
Second, the twists, especially *the* big twist, absolutely bowled me over. If anyone else guessed the whopper twist in there, I can gladly accept that they are smarter than I am! This author sneaked things by me like none other - I had no idea I was being duped for the majority of the book. Loved it!
The ending was a little unfinished - it seems reality was distorted for me right up to the very end. Fantastic, but I felt the end was just slightly unresolved for me. Regardless, it was too good not to give it all 5 stars!! I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a super complex puzzle to solve, and will be reading more by this author!

About the author
Overhyped
⭐️⭐️.5 Trust me it shocks me to rate something so low giving the world praises this book as one of the best books out there but being honest it just wasn’t it. I will say this though in the books defense. The plot twist that come at the end you would never see coming, I don’t care how good you are at predicting things. Hell, a psychic wouldn’t have seen this book ending the way it did. And it’s for that ending alone that the book is even receiving 2.5⭐️. (I struggled whether or not to give it another .5 star for a solid 3 but in the end nahhh) The writing is great. There’s no denying this is a seasoned author who knows how not only to awake your senses through imagery, but also shows her creativity on age old saying which I love (ex: “We still finish each others sentences, but these days we get them wrong.) This line right here is just phenomenal. It’s one of those line as an author that you come up with and store in your phone and then come up with a plot just so you can use it. So writing a book about a failing marriage who takes a last ditch effort weekend getaway trip that they won to repair things was perfect. I love the different POVs. The book does a great job of cycling through 4 different povs Amelia (wife), Adam (husband), Robin (mystery neighbor), and love letters from the past, written on the anniversary of each year for the couple. However I didn’t like the fact that with Amelia and Adam the chapters are written in first person. Allowing us to enter their thoughts but not Robin’s chapters. Which I believe could have offered valuable insight and caused for a bigger reaction when the plot twist hits…. The biggest problem is 200 pgs in the story was nice but not a “MUST FINISH”. As far as the plot twist go, the book is definitely creative and the only reason it hits you so much of a surprise is because there’s literally nothing that points to it at all. So there’s no moment like “OMG I don’t see how I didnt put that together” it’s literally just a plot twist out of nowhere for the sake of being shocking.
