Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney

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.

Just got this from the library. Seen some good reviews so looking forward to reading it!

I have a hold on it from the library and I'm hoping to get it before the end of the month.

I recently finished this one. I really liked it. Oh the secrets and lies. Secrets and lies. Secrets and lies.

Just hit 80 pages in and I am loving it!!!! Don’t know where it’s going but I am along for the ride!

Excellent, Kelly!

I finished it a couple of months ago and absolutely loved it! With the unraveling of lies and secrets until the very end, with several twists throughout, I could not help switching alliances repeatedly.

I too am 80 pages in and loving it!

Just finished! Never have I ever written a review faster! Probably one of the best books I have ever read! 10/10

Wow! That's high praise! I hope to get to it soon.

This was a very good read! Had me guessing right up to the end and then even beyond?🤷 Soo good

Finished this today - SUCH a good read! Absolutely agree with Melissa too, it’s still got me guessing after finishing it.

Anyone else wonder what Adam had in store for Amelia?

I just finished midnight library is a good ending

This is the thread for Rock, Paper, Scissors. I think you may have mixed up your threads Mark :)

Finished this a few days ago. The twist was good!! I have been searching to read these kinds of books with good twist and I found it! such beautiful characters and plot!

Read this book about 2 months ago. A book full of twists I didn’t see coming! I really enjoyed this book and it’s actually one that I would like to read again.

Yes! I didn't remember this until I saw your comment, but it's got me thinking now...

Just started this today. I have been wanting to read it for a long time. The suspense and secrets are already creating quite the tension and I am only 50 pages in! I am wondering who has more secrets they are hiding between Adam and Amelia.

I liked this one too! I'm also thinking about the ending.

Wow! I really loved this book. Anyone read any other books by Feeney and which do you recommend?

I am just getting to this one and wow... I am feeling sooooo uneasy.
I am listening on audible and I like the narrator.

I really wanted to read this one. I got it from the library, then ran out of time and had to return it. I will eventually get it again. I'll be interested to see what you end up thinking of it. Maybe I'll just buy it on Audible.
