I want to give this a five for the many times I couldn't read fast enough to find out the secrets。 A few nagging details at the end prevent that， but it was a fun ride！ I want to give this a five for the many times I couldn't read fast enough to find out the secrets。 A few nagging details at the end prevent that， but it was a fun ride！ 。。。more

This is the fourth book I've read by this author duo and everyone has been well written， fast paced， with unexpected connections and twists throughout。 The Golden Couple is told from two alternating perspectives and kept me reading late into the night。 Excellent psychological thriller。 Highly recommended This is the fourth book I've read by this author duo and everyone has been well written， fast paced， with unexpected connections and twists throughout。 The Golden Couple is told from two alternating perspectives and kept me reading late into the night。 Excellent psychological thriller。 Highly recommended 。。。more

Thought I had it figured out but then another twist。 Very surprised at the end！！！ Definitely recommend this book。 I don’t keep many books but this is a keeper。

I really liked this one！ It was a slow starter for me， but around the halfway mark I was hooked。 Everything came together really nicely in the end and even though I had my suspicions， I was still surprised by parts of the resolution。 We love a solid domestic thriller！！！！！！

This writing duo is fast becoming a favorite of mine for domestic thrillers。 They write so effortlessly and manage to keep us entertained with no idea where each one of them starts or finish， gifting us with a seamlessly constructed novel。This one will have you vested and hold your interest from the beginning， fluctuating with a plot and subplot about the main character， a relationship counselor， and a couple she is trying to help。 Her unconventional methods have cost her her license to practice This writing duo is fast becoming a favorite of mine for domestic thrillers。 They write so effortlessly and manage to keep us entertained with no idea where each one of them starts or finish， gifting us with a seamlessly constructed novel。This one will have you vested and hold your interest from the beginning， fluctuating with a plot and subplot about the main character， a relationship counselor， and a couple she is trying to help。 Her unconventional methods have cost her her license to practice but she continues to counsel on her own terms and promises results within 10 meetings with her clients。Go into this cold， I did， and you will find yourself immersed in a strange but intriguing tale that will have you looking forward to each chapter。 Today is release day， get your copy at your favorite retailer。 My thanks to St。 Martin's Press and NetGalley for my preview copy of which I am reviewing honestly and happy to recommend。 。。。more

Marissa and Matthew seem to be the perfect couple， but they each have their secrets。 They end up going to therapy to try to fix their relationship， but they choose Avery， an unconventional therapist with secrets of her own…。Like with most thrillers， the less you know going in， the better so I’m going to leave my description there。 This was a slow burn that kept me wondering what layers we would peel back next， what additional secrets we had yet to find， and how they would all be connected。 I lov Marissa and Matthew seem to be the perfect couple， but they each have their secrets。 They end up going to therapy to try to fix their relationship， but they choose Avery， an unconventional therapist with secrets of her own…。Like with most thrillers， the less you know going in， the better so I’m going to leave my description there。 This was a slow burn that kept me wondering what layers we would peel back next， what additional secrets we had yet to find， and how they would all be connected。 I love this author duo and this book was no exception。 I loved the dual point of views and I could not put it down。 Also， the DC area setting was a major plus - I loved reading about familiar places！I had both the audio and physical books and really enjoyed the audiobook narrators。 I was so captivated whenever I was listening。 Thanks to NetGalley， St。 Martin’s Press， and Macmillan Audio for the advanced copies。 。。。more

Matthew and Marissa are The Golden Couple。 They have great careers， amazing son， everything they want or need， amazing love and life。 Or do they？ One lapse in judgement sends them to Avery， a nontraditional therapist who is intrigued and vows to help them。 The story becomes deliciously intriguing and the book flows so amazingly from one curious twist to another。 I found myself wanting to just sit and keep reading so I could get to the climax of the story。 I made a calculated guess on who was beh Matthew and Marissa are The Golden Couple。 They have great careers， amazing son， everything they want or need， amazing love and life。 Or do they？ One lapse in judgement sends them to Avery， a nontraditional therapist who is intrigued and vows to help them。 The story becomes deliciously intriguing and the book flows so amazingly from one curious twist to another。 I found myself wanting to just sit and keep reading so I could get to the climax of the story。 I made a calculated guess on who was behind the suspense but I could not have seen it evolve the way it did and as in every story these two write， even the last paragraph brings you another unsuspecting twist。 。。。more

Actual rating: 3。5 out 0f 5The book was well-written， entertaining and held my attention throughout。 It wasn't the "gripping" or "edge-of-your seat thrilling ride" type of book， but it did have some twists and reveals along the way。 While the story itself was interesting， I felt like it was missing something to make it exciting。 The ending also wasn't a "big reveal" and kind of a letdown。Thank you to NetGalley， St。 Martin's Press， Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen for a copy of "The Golden Coup Actual rating: 3。5 out 0f 5The book was well-written， entertaining and held my attention throughout。 It wasn't the "gripping" or "edge-of-your seat thrilling ride" type of book， but it did have some twists and reveals along the way。 While the story itself was interesting， I felt like it was missing something to make it exciting。 The ending also wasn't a "big reveal" and kind of a letdown。Thank you to NetGalley， St。 Martin's Press， Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen for a copy of "The Golden Couple" in exchange of an honest review。 。。。more

Starts strong reeling me in。 The snags start around 50%。 I don't spoil or repeat the synopsis。 There was a stretch of boredom while being further distracted with thoughts of where have I read this。 This character dynamic has been done too many times。 The story was closing and there is a clever scene。 That small bit saved the book from ending on a sour note。 The book is just okay。 The narration was not over the top nor did it take away or enhance the book。 Thank you NetGalley for accepting my req Starts strong reeling me in。 The snags start around 50%。 I don't spoil or repeat the synopsis。 There was a stretch of boredom while being further distracted with thoughts of where have I read this。 This character dynamic has been done too many times。 The story was closing and there is a clever scene。 That small bit saved the book from ending on a sour note。 The book is just okay。 The narration was not over the top nor did it take away or enhance the book。 Thank you NetGalley for accepting my request to read and review The Golden Couple。 。。。more

The BORING Couple！！！！ Oh my gosh， this book was so bad。 I truly do not know what happened here because my past Greer & Sarah reads earned some nice 4-5 star ratings。 The first 80% of the book was just nonsense with a million side characters and separate storylines。 When everything was finally tied up at the end of the book， the twist wasn’t even good！ This book was so unoriginal and I was not thrilled。 I can’t even find a single thing I liked about it。 Sad face。

I wasn’t expecting to like this based on the first few chapters but once I got past part one I was hooked。 I knew everything was connected somehow and I wondered how。 It was very interesting I wish I saw more after the ”after”

this was a good book to give me a break from romance。 i loved it so much ！！！ it honestly took me off guard because at some point i could not figure out how this would all align at the end。 or how the story would even end？？？i think with all the details and extra-ness of it all - it made me feel like i was in an escape room with no idea where the next clue would be。 i was clueless。 BUT EVERYTHING MADE SENSE towards the end。 i had a lot oh “aha” moments。 definitely a great read！！！

Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen have been writing domestic thrillers for the last few years and I love this writing team！ I especially loved their first novel together， The Wife Between Us。 After reading that one I was super excited to check out the next book which was just ok for me but that said， I enjoyed their writing style and was eager to read other collaborations。When this book came up for review I was familiar enough with the authors names and the quality of novels they put out so I w Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen have been writing domestic thrillers for the last few years and I love this writing team！ I especially loved their first novel together， The Wife Between Us。 After reading that one I was super excited to check out the next book which was just ok for me but that said， I enjoyed their writing style and was eager to read other collaborations。When this book came up for review I was familiar enough with the authors names and the quality of novels they put out so I was obviously on board with a review。 While the second book I read wasn’t my fav， it was still enjoyable and sometimes you have a a book that just doesn’t live up to the first and that’s ok， it isn’t a deal breaker for me so I looked forward to this one being like a redemption book for me。Collaborative works can sometimes be tricky。 Each author has their own unique voice and style so trying to mesh those two together can sometimes be a challenge。 I have been fairly lucky in my reading of collaborative novels as most have been well written and interesting but sometimes the different styles can be obvious， however with these two authors their different styles have really worked well together。This book was absolutely redemption worthy for me！ While maybe not a 5 star review， it was still a very entertaining novel and absolutely kept me interested and guessing！ Marissa and Matthew are the typical upper middle class suburban couple with what appears to be everything going for them—-until it’s not。 They enter into counseling where they meet Avery。 First of all I would not be going to a non licensed and controversial therapist if I needed couples counseling however I thought the authors did a great job setting readers up for buying into Avery’s program。 I think most readers would be like wait there are some red flags here but in this book you can sort of be like ‘ok ya makes sense’ so kudos to the authors for getting me to buy into this part of the story。After that everything really fell into place for me until the last little bit go the book which is why it ended up being a 4 star review for me rather than a 5 star review。 I don’t want to give away any details but the ending felt like it wrapped up a little too quickly for me。 It could have been a little more refined and polished in my opinion but overall it was a fitting ending。 If you enjoy domestic thrillers this book very much needs to be on your list for spring/summer reading！ I really enjoyed it even if the ending wasn’t as impactful as I was hoping。The one thing that both of these authors really do well is writing well drawn characters。 In this book I felt like Marissa and Matthew could be any couple that I know personally or even my own spouse。 I mean clearly there are issues in their marriage but as characters and people， I think readers will find things to relate to in each of the characters。 They are multidimensional with lots to make readers think about。 I also appreciated some of the topics they covered as well as some of the musings for me to consider。 It was a great read and I definitely recommend for thriller fans！ 。。。more

Avery is a marriage counselor who utilizes unorthodox and in some cases illegal methods of dealing with her clients， but when the seemingly ‘golden couple’ of Matthew and Marissa sign on to work with her， the three of them are set on a collision course。—--Hendricks and Pekannen are able to weave together such fun mystery/thrillers， and I’d say this is probably my favorite yet from this duo！ Their books， to me， are pure and unadulterated escapism， and I mean that in the best possible way。I might Avery is a marriage counselor who utilizes unorthodox and in some cases illegal methods of dealing with her clients， but when the seemingly ‘golden couple’ of Matthew and Marissa sign on to work with her， the three of them are set on a collision course。—--Hendricks and Pekannen are able to weave together such fun mystery/thrillers， and I’d say this is probably my favorite yet from this duo！ Their books， to me， are pure and unadulterated escapism， and I mean that in the best possible way。I might categorize this as more of a domestic mystery than a psychological thriller， but there was definitely a bit of unreliable narration going on。 I thought the therapist gone rogue was a very fun idea！ I enjoyed watching Avery spy on her clients and force them into certain situations in a way an actual therapist never would dare。The narration alternates between Avery’s first-person and Marissa’s third-person， so that the POV shifts between the therapist who uses underhanded means to try to bring couples back together and the wife who is trying to keep a very big secret hidden from everyone - including her own husband。 The alternating POV keeps the reader off-balance， and the pacing is engaging and steady – not too fast， not too slow。 Just the perfect， steady drip of red herrings and fun twists that will keep a reader turning pages until the surprising end。This hits the shelves today！Thank you St。 Martin’s Press for the ARC！ 。。。more

The Golden Couple/Ken and Barbie/Mr and Mrs Perfect。 Don’t we all know at least one couple that fits this stereotype？ Now tell the truth， is that couple that you know as perfect as they appear， as perfect as they lead people to think they are？ My guess is no， no， they are not perfect。 Not only are they not perfect， they actually have more skeletons and dirt than most other couples you know。 Those so called perfect couples are the ones you need to need to be most wary of。 Don’t be fooled into thi The Golden Couple/Ken and Barbie/Mr and Mrs Perfect。 Don’t we all know at least one couple that fits this stereotype？ Now tell the truth， is that couple that you know as perfect as they appear， as perfect as they lead people to think they are？ My guess is no， no， they are not perfect。 Not only are they not perfect， they actually have more skeletons and dirt than most other couples you know。 Those so called perfect couples are the ones you need to need to be most wary of。 Don’t be fooled into thinking otherwise and don’t be jealous of them。 Still not sure？ Come read about Marissa and Matthew and then see if you agree with me…I flew this book in one day and was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole thing。 There are so many twists and turns and I had to shake my head at one point wondering how everything was going to tie together。 Be ready for the ride， it is a great one！I have loved every book I’ve read written by these two authors and I knew I could expect the same with their newest。 Fantastic！ 。。。more

This was an anticipated reads I was very excited I received an eARC for。 Unfortunately， I didn’t enjoy this one as much as this author duo’s previous works。 I struggled getting engaged with the story for the first half of the book and it felt like it dragged on for the entirety of it。 I did enjoy the many twists it provided。 It sure kept me guessing。 This will not keep me from reading future books published by this duo。 I would like to thank the publisher， NetGalley and the authors for the eARC This was an anticipated reads I was very excited I received an eARC for。 Unfortunately， I didn’t enjoy this one as much as this author duo’s previous works。 I struggled getting engaged with the story for the first half of the book and it felt like it dragged on for the entirety of it。 I did enjoy the many twists it provided。 It sure kept me guessing。 This will not keep me from reading future books published by this duo。 I would like to thank the publisher， NetGalley and the authors for the eARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
