The Marriage Lie by Kimberly Belle
4.0
This is a really fun, twisty read! I will say if you're a reader who gets completely caught up on how realistic all plot points are, you may struggle with this one at times. I, however, am completely ok with some outrageousness in my thrillers, so I loved this book!
Iris is a school psychologist at an Atlanta prep school who arrives at work one day only to hear about a plane crash that killed all passengers--a flight from ATL to Seattle. Iris's husband Will--who she has an adorable loving relationship with--is on a plane at that exact time, but to Orlando. However within a few hours, Iris hears from the airline that her husband Will was a passenger on the Seattle flight. How can that be?
Iris begins a spiral of grief and confusion and anger that I believe most of us could sympathize with. She questions IF Will was really on the plane? And WHY would he be going to Seattle? What is Iris missing? How can she get answers?
From here I want to avoid spoilers, so suffice it to say the direction the book took was refreshing! It wasn't the cookie-cutter story I expected. I also loved the relationship between Iris and her twin brother Dave. The ending was wrapped up (you get answers) which I always appreciate. The action also continues into the final chapter. What a wonderful book! I actually had my heart race at a few points, which is always fun and the sign of a good thriller.
