The Senator's Wife

I knew it was political going into it, and that was definitely my least favorite part of the book and some of that went over my head. I liked the “am I crazy or is someone making me crazy” trope and this book reminded me of Verity mixed with Before I Go to Sleep. One twist got me good: I knew Whit was shady but I never would have expected Athena to be an FBI agent trying to bust Whit. I guess the red herring of her sabotaging Sloane worked on me! There were a few little minor twists that I didn't like as much I didn't like Rosemary's chapters at all and I did not care who was after her. That part could have been left off Good popcorn thriller!

this is fine if you want a thriller that's not very tense, but i found it pretty dull throughout. it was a pretty basic domestic-type thriller with some rich people drama (politicians, congresspeople) but no super juicy drama. got better towards the end but not that riveting as a whole. writing style was weird to me - felt choppy.

This is only my second experience reading a Liv Constantine book, and I felt completely ok about it. I hated all the characters, which is actually a perk... I love when that happens. But none of their motives felt real and that the plot twists were just there for shock. I enjoyed the writing and the dynamics between the characters but the story itself fell flat for me. I'm weary to read anything else written by this writing duo because both the books I've read have been just ok, but they might publish something in the future I'm more interest in.
