You and I had the kind of childhoods that are better forgotten, but seeds of ambition grow best in shallow soil,

Affection is like playing the piano and you can forget how to do it without practice.

Unlike me, my husband has aged impossibly well. His forty plus years are cleverly disguised by a good haircut, tanned skin, and a body shaped by an over-indulgence in half-marathons. He has always been very good at running away, especially from reality.

i like humor in a book, i hope this one will be humorous

I’ll admit that I sometimes feel jealous, but I think that’s only natural given the number of nights when he would rather take a book to bed. My husband doesn’t cheat on me with other women, or men, he has love affairs with their words.

My work makes me feel young, but my wife makes me feel old.

nothing i hate more than people who think they never do anything wrong 

These days she seems to want something else. Maybe someone else. Because I’m not the one who changed.

There are some people in my life I shouldn’t have walked away from: I should have run.

Words are only of value if we remember how to feel what they mean. 

Words are only of value if we remember how to feel what they mean. We won’t forget, will we? I like to think that heat we have is more than just words.

When the person you love has too many bright ideas, they can completely eclipse yours. And I still do. Love you. I spent my ambition on your dreams instead of my own.

A person can become immune to beauty when exposed to it too often

Redamancy: noun- and act of loving the one who loves you; a love returned in full

It made me wonder how many firsts a person can have before life only offers them seconds.

Think you know the person you married? Think again... Things have been wrong with Mr and Mrs Wright for a long time. When Adam and Amelia win a weekend away to Scotland, it might be just what their marriage needs. Self-confessed workaholic and screenwriter Adam Wright has lived with face blindness his whole life. He can’t recognize friends or family, or even his own wife. Every anniversary the couple exchange traditional gifts – paper, cotton, pottery, tin – and each year Adam’s wife writes him a letter that she never lets him read. Until now. They both know this weekend will make or break their marriage, but they didn’t randomly win this trip. One of them is lying, and someone doesn’t want them to live happily ever after. Ten years of marriage. Ten years of secrets. And an anniversary they will never forget. Rock Paper Scissors is the latest exciting domestic thriller from the queen of the killer twist, New York Times bestselling author Alice Feeney.

Have to say I did not see that one coming

I liked the premise and the idea of the book. Also love the spooky suspenseful setting the chapel gives. Although when I found out who was who…jaw dropped. CRAZY!

I guessed all the twists and the characters were insufferable, but the writing was good.

This book is perfect if you want a good winter thriller. This had a lot of twists and turns. It's told in 3 different P.O.V's. Adam's wife has been writing him secret anniversary letters. Each letter lands on a cliffhanger. It was a fast-paced read.

This is hard to say I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I wished I could have. So many people told how amazing this book was and once I started reading and got halfway I was wondering if I was reading the same book. The first half was so boring and the characters were so frustrating, and I understand that was probably the point of the book for them to be like that. But it has to be good enough and tolerable enough for me to want to keep reading. It took a lot in me to keep going when I really didn’t want to. And even though the second half was better I have experienced the concept of the twist in a different book and of course I’m going to compare the two and of course I’m going to like the one that kept my interest more than the other. So while I may be the problem and didn’t love this book just know a lot of people do and would recommend it for y’all to read.

Listen books don’t normally give me the spookies but this one for sure did at times. This has been on my TBR for a while and now I’m wondering why I didn’t read it sooner. It was absolutely crazy and I audibly gasped at times. 110% read this one.

Throughout the book I kept thinking how the characters were connected to each other. The reveal of it all did not disappoint. overall a great thriller.

Soon to be a Netflix series from the producer of The Crown The phenomenal new thriller from the bestselling author of Sometimes I Lie ‘Not just fiendish but positively Feeneyish – dark, ingenious and very clever’ Cara Hunter, author of Close to Home

Horrible characters throughout, great twists at the end.

was a little boring at first, the twists took a while, but once they started they didn’t stop. INCREDIBLE

It was a good thriller book! Honestly, I was not into it until I got into halfway of the book lol it was worth it though! The plot twists made a lot of sense. I loved how it was revealed one by one.

Amelia wasn't the one writing the letters.. when that was revealed IT MADE A LOT OF SENSE... i was literally gaping my mouth because of the revelation

I really thought that Amelia was the one writing the letters and she SLEPT with Henry.. lol but girl it was Robin. And it was a favor as Henry's daughter my goodness.

Amelia was NOT the one who crashed to Adam's mom. It was ADAM holy shit but I think I was late to catch on the hint cos I was just thinking the nightmares were just out of his guilt because he let his mother walk his dog but BOY OH BOY... the guilt was because he caused his mother's death.... and he got relieved because Amelia also died and took the blame????? LIKE WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND GETS RELIEVED BY THAT. He's insane. Sick in the head.

Robin thinking the only right way to get rid of Amelia was to kill her???????? You are just like your father my goodness. You could've reported her to the police or I dont know???? What is the need to kill her honestly 😭

All this time, I truly believe Amelia was the victim. Amelia is a trouble child I get it but that's because of her traumatic childhood, she became guilty of a crime she did not directly commit, she was killed by her husband's ex wife, improperly buried and completely forgotten cos no one will look for her 😭 the one thing she did completely wrong was the cheating incident and also the DUI (indirectly). But all of these incidents are also Adam's fault but she was the only one blamed for it. What she did was completely mild compared to what Robin and Adam did like going back to their normal life after killing a woman (his husband's second wife and her ex best friend!) like it was nothing! Crazy. They are truly meant for each other

brilliant i literally never saw it coming with the twists

This book genuinely had me trying to read in between the lines. Once I was at the last 50 pages or so I found myself turning the pages back towards the beginning of the story to see what I missed and how I didn’t expect anything of that. And then after every chapter I couldn’t believe that there was still more information being revealed.

Complex, mysterious, insane, and I loved It! Multiple points of view shared from the characters and appreciated the end wrapping up most of the loose ends. Much enjoyed!

Rock, Paper, Scissor is my first book by author Alice Feeney and the first thriller for the year 2022. The book was gripping till the very end. There were a lot of small things that I really like about Rock, Paper, Scissor but first little of the plot. 

The plot is about a couple who are married 10 years but all is not right between them for a long time. So when the couple win a weekend getaway to Blackwater Chapel in Scotland, they take the chance to give their marriage a final shot. The couple exchange traditional gifts on their anniversary while the wife write she husband letters which she never let's him read. The letters are honest and hold a lot of secrets. But someone in their marriage is lying and don't want a happily ever after. 

The book though a bit slow paced still kept me hooked on because all the major twist and turned came in end. The book sometime felt creepy and eerie and will give you goosebumps. The characters in the book are easily relatable.The book is written in terms, that there were a lot of interesting line that I felt was so true and if you are the one to learn new words then this book does contain 13 new words that you will learn along with its meaning. 

Overall the book is a must read if your someone who is into thrillers.

** spoiler alert **
           adam and robin were both psychopaths for doing the things they did and still going on abt their life as if nothing of great value happened ?? the plot becomes confusing at some points and i think maybe if i were to read this book w proper attention, id have gotten everything but since at some point i just wanted to get done w what id started, i didnt care much. but robin being the one writing the letters did scatter my brain a bit so i went back to check and realised adam didn't call his "wife" even once by her name, which was clever as fuck id admit. it also made me go FUCK! how could i miss all of that. it was right in front of my eyes 

i also think that all of the things made sense by the end because the writer decided to reveal robin's true identity by like, 80% of the book. i think it to be a bit too unnatural given how they both cheated on her, and were practically living the life SHE gave them so her not coming up at alllll in their povs for the entirety of the book, not even once, was boggling to me. i get that her character's real identity was a mystery and it needed to be a mystery for the book to workout in the end but its just a bit 

this book was initially 3 stars from me but bc of the witch stuff and it's anonymity, the samuel fiasco at the end, which made me lose my sleep and get the creeps for the next few days, i give it a 4 👍👍👍👍

eh it was okay, first few chapters were interesting however, it got more and more boring tbh.. & also story plot jumping to the past and present was so confusing i hate this book

  4/5 🌟


I should have finished this book in just two days but I got distracted by another book and it took me almost a week to finish this.

I've come up with a lot of theories while reading this, but I'll be honest, I never saw those plot twists coming. I really had a WTF moment, especially in that first reveal, and it made me feel so manipulated by the author. It was like she made a fool out of me for making me believe something that is entirely not this whole time. That specific plot twist made me want to re-read it all over again. Some parts which I initially thought a bit confusing suddenly make much more sense after re-reading it knowing the truth. 

But I have to say, the consecutive plot twists is a bit too much for me. It was revelation after revelation after another revelation, all for the sake of shock factor. It became a bit excessive for me and even though the rest of the plot twists are unexpected, some came out so randomly. 

Still gave this a solid 4 stars because this really put me at the edge of my seat. The shock I've experienced with the first reveal might be the most enjoyable part of this book. It was a pretty good introductory read from this author and I will definitely pick up more of her books in the future.

It’s an okay thriller. I think it was supposed to be more of a horror/thriller and as someone who seriously has a fear of ghosts I found myself laughing a few times. The superstition, the replicated furniture, locked doors, typed notes, the whispering of names three times were probably supposed to add to the suspense but I just found these things laughable. 

I thought the idea of a MC having face blindness was rather intriguing but how could he not know who his father in law was in a marriage that lasted over a decade? 

There were twists and turns that took the story up a notch but I knew from the beginning that one of them would be murdered and one would be the murderer. It was just a matter of figuring out who would be who. 

It’s possible that the ending was too twisty making it feel haphazardly thrown together to tie it all up in the final hour. 

I do believe that if I gave this a reread I might have a greater appreciation for it knowing what I know now. I will do my best to give it another go when I find time.

OMG??? Everything escalated and unfolded so suddenly and unexpectedly, from the character to the plot twist. The thing that blew my mind was the hints that were already there from the first chapter, and I was probably too stupid to realize it soon, lol. This was perhaps the best psychological-thriller book I have ever read yet (aside from Verity). If you like Gone Girl then you definitely SHOULD read this book.

this book was EXTREMELY hyped up! after finally reading it, i can positively say that it’s for good reason. this book was AMAZING. alice feeney did something incredible with this book. 

i was immersed in this book from the beginning. there was so much information that didn’t make sense & forced me to continue reading. i needed to know what happened next *immediately* !!! waiting until the next day was not always an option. alice feeney kept me on my toes - i couldn’t believe a single thing that any of the characters said. the blurb said there were lots of secrets and there really was 😭 i still don’t even know what to think. the way robin went about exposing amelia + who she really was to adam was fascinating. genuinely don’t know how someone could write a book with sooo many twists and turns and make it good. 

i cannot recommend this thriller enough. it is such a great page-turner, i seriously didn’t want to put it down.

I am so disappointed. I mean it was good or I would not have given it 3 Stars but… idk. It felt like the author had too many ideas and wanted to fit them all in one story. Facts about characters were often more than one time listed which I did not get but well, the writing was okay and some plottwists were cool and unexpected but nothing great
