Title: Rock Paper Scissors
Author: Alice Feeney
Fiction/Nonfiction: Fiction
Have I read this Author Before: Yes
One Sentence Summary: A young couple with a troubled marriage travel to a secluded location for a weekend and get caught up in mystery and deceit
Best Thing About the Book: Suspense builds within the first pages as each narrator confesses to having secrets and motives for their weekend away
Worst Thing About the Book: Because the full plot line takes place over the course of a weekend, there is a lot of back and forth with the past, and every action that takes place in the house is shrouded in mystery so its almost too much to keep track of, especially if you’re someone who likes to try to guess at what’s going on
Did it Make Me Want to Keep Reading: Yes, she always creates an atmosphere where you have to know what happens
What I learned: One of the main characters suffers from an actual disorder called prosopagnosia, otherwise known as face blindness that makes it hard for the individual to recognize faces and can even cause them to have trouble recognizing the people in their own lives
The Bottom Line: Having read this author before, I knew there would be a juicy surprise ending, and although I still did not see what was coming, after I knew the twist, it seemed very reminiscent to me of her prior books
Would I Read this Author Again: Yes, I think only have one left to go (see below); His & Hers is still my favorite
Next Book to be Read By This Author: Daisy Darker, which I don’t think is out quite yet
