The Mother-in-Law by Sally Hepworth
3.0
Let's start with the good parts. I thought this book kept my attention and I wish I could have sat down for a few hours and just devoured the book in a day. It was easy to read and I enjoyed the dual timeline of going back to the past and the present. I like knowing about what happened that made the characters the way they are whether I like it or not haha.
There were a number of things I learnt about the characters in the past that got me giving them the eye lol and was looking forward to where that would lead to and sometimes, it went kinda nowhere. Just a piece of history for you know, I guess?
It's a family drama and I haven't read many of those so I don't mind that part and also set in Australia which is nice!
Overall, not a very thrilling thriller but not the worse. But I also won't tell you to drop what you're reading now to get to this one either.
I read this as a buddy read and it was really fun to talk about what happened in the book and share our thoughts. It really adds to the enjoyment of the book so thank you to my buddy (:
That said, I look forward to try out more books by the author!
