Such a Loving Couple – Blog Tour – Book Review

I blink open my eyes, taking in bright lights and a white room. A man smiles warmly at me from the end of my bed. ‘Honey, I’ve been so worried,’ he says gently. ‘Do you remember me? I’m your husband.’ My blood runs cold. I don’t know where I am, or who I am. All I know is I’ve never seen this man before…

As he packs my things, the nurses tell me Freddie hasn’t left my bedside since the accident I was in days ago. They tell me I’m lucky. We seem like the perfect couple, and together we’ll figure out what happened. So I go home to a beautiful house with a fancy marble kitchen and manicured garden that is supposedly ours. But deep down I know something isn’t right. Even though my memories are gone, this doesn’t feel like my life.

Slowly, flashes of memory come back. First the accident – the pouring rain, a swerving car, a sudden scream. Somebody whispering, ‘ I’ll love you forever ’. But most heartbreaking of all are the haunting memories of a blue-eyed little girl. Is she my little girl? Was she in the accident too? Or is she in terrible danger?

Freddie is determined to keep me safe and hide me from the world. But I can’t shake the feeling that we aren’t the loving couple he wants us to be, and that beyond this house a precious child needs me now more than ever. So why am I here? What does Freddie want? And how far will I have to go, to discover the truth?

An utterly gripping and page-turning psychological thriller filled with dark secrets and deadly obsessions. Perfect for fans of The Housemaid , The Family Upstairs , and The Serial Killer’s Wife .

This is the second book I have read from this author and I feel like this book is better than her debut book in general.

Becka wakes up in the hospital with no memory of what happened to her. A man who calls himself as Freddie is beside her, telling her that she had an accident and that she and Freddie are dating. Becka is trying to relive the memories before the accident but the more she tries to relive the memories, more she realizes that something is amiss as she starts regaining her memories. Is Becka who she really is? Why is Freddie trying to protect and save her?

The pacing of the story was really good. This story kind of reminded me of Before I Go to Sleep and the whole story as a whole made the reader feel like they are at the edge of the seat while reading the book. There are multiple POVs in the book and most of these characters are unreliable narrators. But there are twists and turns along the way, Though it started a little slow at the beginning, it started to become fast paced by the middle of the book. The ending was really great and unexpected and overall, this book worth five stars!
