The Perfect Life

This was a bit of a disappointing read!

Not just because the characters actions were so ridiculous at times, making you want to give them a good shake and repeatedly shout ‘what are you doing?!' at them, but also because of the inconsistencies in the story.

There was a twist towards the end and my initial thought was that it was good it was there because otherwise the story would have been predictable. But then rethinking it, the character involved in the twist actually just seemed totally random. Usually in a book, you might not know who the murderer is, but you've atleast met them consistently throughout the story. Apart from a very brief mention, it really wasn't the case here making it seem like it was just a name picked out at random. It's annoying really because even if a character is a murderer, you still want their back story to understand them.

The pace of the book was a little slow to get going, but then did pick up.

Thank you to Pigeonhole and Valerie Keogh for the chance to read this book.
