“I love my wife. I just don’t think we like each other as much as we used to.”
Adam and Amelia’s marriage is in trouble. Adam is tired of her nagging him about working too much. She’s tired of his singular focus on work, plus the fact that he suffers from prosopagnosia, or face blindness, means he doesn’t even recognize her in a crowd or even a room. She’s tired of not being seen.
The couple wins a weekend getaway in Scotland. Both know it’s their last chance to save their marriage. Neither is sure they want to. But the getaway doesn’t quite seem as appealing as they thought it might be. Does someone else not want their marriage—or perhaps them—to survive?
I’ll leave it at that since it’s best to let the plot unfold. The story is interspersed with letters written to Adam for every year of their marriage, letters that up to this point he hasn’t seen.
I thought Rock Paper Scissors was absolutely great. I had my suspicions but most of them were wrong, and I just couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I always love when a thriller makes me say, “Wait, what?”
Given the hype and my uneasy relationship with thrillers I was nervous about this book but it definitely delivered. I’ll definitely go back and read some of Feeney’s earlier stuff!!
