Book: What You Did
Author: Claire McGowan
Genre: Fiction,
Mystery, Thriller, Suspense, Adult
It was supposed to be the perfect reunion: six university friends together again after twenty years. Host Ali finally has the life she always wanted, a career she can be proud of and a wonderful family with her college boyfriend, now husband. But that night her best friend makes an accusation so shocking that nothing will ever be the same again.
When Karen staggers in from the garden, bleeding and traumatised, she claims that she has been assaulted—by Ali’s husband, Mike. Ali must make a split-second decision: who should she believe? Her horrified husband, or her best friend? With Mike offering a very different version of events, Ali knows one of them is lying—but which? And why?
When the ensuing chaos forces her to re-examine the golden era the group shared at university, Ali realises there are darker memories too. Memories that have lain dormant for decades. Memories someone would kill to protect.
My Thoughts
This review has been pending for so long. I've finished reading this book a couple of months ago but I only felt the need to review this because I want to give reviews to the books I read starting August last year.
I was so mad at this book. I was so mad at all the characters here especially with Ali. Ali, a supposed feminist who fights for women's rights, who hates rape. I know it's easier said than done especially if it's your husband who's involved and you can't think straight. But her friend, Karen, is a rape victim and she doesn't wanna believe that because it's her husband who's the suspect? She's like invalidating what happened to Karen because (SPOILER) her husband and Karen has an affair?
This story is messed up. I can barely remember details so that's it for now.
My Verdict
Not worth it. Don't bother. The plot may be intriguing but meh.
MY RATING
★☆☆☆☆
