Behind Closed Doors - End of Year, Side Read. Open Chat.

[Tina]

I'm usually a 5 to 15 page atta time reader. Well, I cracked this one open last night and whisked through 71 pages in an hour sitting. New hard cover, decent font-print, page turner. Lovin' it so far.

Anyone else read this book? Did you like it, not? Please be real careful with spoilers though. I don't want this one ruined as it is a Christmas gift and a great read so far. ;-)

Yeah, I read it quickly. It was a real page turner! I won it from the publisher before it came out and had to share some stuff on social media about it. I also got letters and a postcard from the main character. It was neat! I was intrigued (and surprised) up until the very last page!!!

Nicole, I'm on pg. 144. LOL. Wow, Won't give anything away lest someone else wants to join in or is just starting it.

Okay, serious spoiler alert --






In Thailand scene, I'm like. "The heck with the bag. just leave!"

[Tina]

Done! In two nights. That's record time for me. lol

Wow. What a ride. Spoiler ahead --






I guess the wrap could be plausible yet I'm not sure being as Jack was such a vigilant S O B. And I thought the final Thailand scene was a little stretched out. Seems a loving wife would've moved to file a missing person's report much sooner than waiting so long. And almost, like she was too-too in her angst. And as for Mr. Ho, he was poisoned against Grace; would he really buy idea that she could travel on her own, maintain as much of a cool that she did and as he had that sep. room, Ho had to know that they weren't a tight, loving couple as she played it.

Still it was a great read. I'd give it 4 1/2 stars if I could. Or I guess a five star. I reserve five for really, really special reads. This was close.

I forgot to check back on this thread...but wasn't Millie just awesome!! I never thought she would pull off what she did!!

[Tina]

Yes, she was, Nicole. I also pretty much forgot about this discussion. Thanks for reviving her. :-)
