Best Paired with: A glass of wine and the knowledge that your relationship is probably fine.
Whew. Buckle up, besties, because The Perfect Marriage just dragged me through a courtroom, many police stations and what felt like every lie two people could tell each other - and I loved it.
Meet Sarah and Adam Morgan: one's a high-powered defense attorney, the other's a struggling writer with too much time on his hands and an alibi that definitely needed workshopping. When Adam's mistress turns up murdered (yep), guess who has to defend him? That's right. His wife. Cue the chaos, betrayal, and more red flags than a Formula 1 race.
The pacing? Fast. The twists? Twisty. My trust issues? Activated.
Is it the most groundbreaking thriller ever? Not quite. Was I glued to the page like it was the final episode of a reality show? Absolutely. The pacing is tight, the drama is messy, and if you thought your relationship had issues, congrats - you're doing great, sweetie. Did I cancel my plans to finish it in one night? You bet your bookmarks I did.
Final thoughts:
If you like your thrillers with morally gray characters, page-turning tension, and a sprinkle of "WHAT JUST HAPPENED?", this one's for you. Four and a half messy bookmarks out of five for me.
