Every Vow You Break by Peter Swanson

5.0

Since I've seen quite a few mixed reviews about this book I was worried I wouldn't like it. I've been wanting this book since I first saw the ARC and looked it up. Unfortunately, I couldn't get my hands on an ARC so I anxiously awaited the publication day. As soon as this book arrived on my porch I wanted to start reading, but I needed to wait as I had just started another, and I only read one book at a time. Okay now onto the review.

At first this book reminded me of Lisa Foley's the Guest List because most of the book was set on a secluded island. However, the more I read the more I found the differences. The story is told from Abigal's perspective. Abigal meets and falls in love with a tech millionaire named Bruce. While he isn't the best in the sack, she loves him for other reason, maybe even because he is rich. However, when Abigail is on her bachelorette weekend, she is swept off her feet by someone else and they end up sleeping together. This is three weeks before the wedding.

Abigail goes forward with the wedding even though she has doubts she truly loves Bruce; she has decided she will be happy enough. However, the one-night stand shows up! He has followed her to New York...and then he shows up at her wedding...and then her honeymoon! WHAT!!!

This is where things get interesting...and of course it was lunch time and my husband got home so I had to put the book down. When I was able to pick it back up, I quickly finished, I couldn't bear to put the story down again. Thats how engaging it was. I loved the mystery of this book and it definitely kept me wanting more up until the very end. I love a good epilogue and this book did not disappoint. While I'm not sure I'd say this is a true through and through thriller, its definitely a good story worth reading! As i've only read one other book by this author (which I also enjoyed) I didn't have a ton of preconceived notions going into the book which I think helped as I've heard this one is slightly different than the rest.
