Disappointing
Am a fan of Joshilyn Jackson and have read many of her books. This one was disappointing because it was somewhat disturbing and not terribly believable in my opinion. It was similar to another book offered which was I believe "My Lovely Wife". Both seemed like tabloid fiction to me and if that's what sells, good for the authors but not for this reader.

Never Have I Ever Read A Book Like This
I'm not sure where to start. The two main protagonists in this novel have no redeeming qualities that I could ascertain. They are both very self serving, narcissistic individuals living the life their many lies have created. The author tried to tie together robbery, child abduction, lying, infidelity, child abuse, divorce, fraud, and why not throw in an eating disorder!! There were also inconsistencies. Also very predictable. I suppose you could get some good discussion out of this book just talking about how ridiculous it was.

Never Have I Ever
While the story line is steeped in intrigue, clever in its twisty design, I found this was not enough to offset the choppy pacing of the book. It was work to read this book, which contains too many descriptions at inopportune moments and restatements of things you already know about a character's past or about how they feel. To this reader it felt like filler being placed randomly throughout, filler that is wholly unnecessary to the progress of the story. I also thought the lack of development of the main character's husband was odd. He was shadowy at best. Overall a rather disappointing read.
