Not So Perfect Strangers by L.S. Stratton
5.0
This was such a wild story filled with so many twists and turns!!! After the first few chapters I had an idea of what direction the book was headed but I was partially off course. I love how the author changed up the narrative halfway through which made things even more intense.
We’re given a dual POV from two women Tasha Jenkins and Madison Gingell after one fateful encounter upends both their lives. Tasha and Madison may have very different everyday realities, but what they have in common is abusive marriages they need out of. Both women have experienced some sort of abandonment, neglect, trauma, or loss. They want to help each other, but they have very different ideas of what that means . . .
I found this book to be a smooth and fast-paced reading experience. From the beginning we’re thrown into a mix of chaos and watch as the truth begins to unravel. As the narrative unfolds from both our MC’s POV we given different assumptions about who these women are. While it may seem as though Tasha and Madison will work together to escape their marriages a few chapters in there’s a sudden shift in the plot.
I appreciate the author going into detail and giving a back story on both Tasha and Madison. It allowed us to see how both women ended up in their situations. While Madison’s background may have been the most traumatic she turns out to be the craziest of the two.
The character development was outstanding Madison was hilarious to me. I sympathized a lot with Tasha and her situation. Hated Kordell the most and Phillip was right behind him. Tasha’s son had me yelling at the pages like boy stay in a child’s place tf.
This book was great and had me on edge. I definitely recommend paying attention to the details or you might miss something. We’re given a steady flow of events with the perfect balance of twists, turns, and action. It does contain intense trigger warnings involving sexual assault and domestic violence. But overall it was well worth the read!!!
Rating 4.5/5⭐️
