By page 75 the plot goes from predictable to ridiculous. The characters are all unlikeable and one-dimensional - either golddiggers or pathetic socialites. The author seems to enjoy throwing out names of high-priced consumer goods, and repetitively extolls the beauty and glamour of the WASP lifestyle. At points, I was gagging. Really. The book was more Harlequin romance/chick-lit than a psychological thriller. It was an effort to complete it. What a disappointment! I can't believe it was chosen as a Book of the Month selection. This might be my new favorite book of the year! I love books told from multiple POVs and time periods and this book has 3 narratives. It reminded me of Gone Girl! This was more of a mystery than a thriller and I couldn’t get enough of it, especially when you are hearing narratives from each character! Heather and Burk were high school sweethearts and had made plans to get out of their small town and dreamed of being a success story. Burk, now 46, with 3 kids nearing college gets laid off from his job and isn’t sure how to make ends meet. Enter Skye, a 29yo trust fund kid, who has OCD and hasn’t had many relationships due to significance her disorder leaves her. Burk and Skye fall in love and get married; however, did Burk only try to use Skye to get her married and share in her trust fund? What does his current wife Heather do when Burk is found cheating? This was a great light twisty book, that didn’t have any gore. It did keep me guessing though and I was shocked to find out what was behind the story! Highly recommend! I figured it out! I know exactly what these books are missing. . . more pages. *sobs at how fast I read this book* Regan's story takes us through another door, to an unknown world, teaching us that we never needed a savor in the first place. We just needed take a deep breath, analyses the situation and save our own damn selves. It was magical, and excited. Full of character growth, and self actualization. In short, another fantastic installment of the wayward children. I love how Seanan can take the most neglected children and give them the tool they need to become a well developed person. When each of these books are done, these kids that would have been bullies, abused, or neglected are shining brighter than they ever would have living in our modern day society. The series is a testament to how every person has value, and a place in this world. We just need to be kind. Note: Intersex Character. Trigger Warnings: bullying. Menzioni

One of my favorite things about a mystery book is trying to figure out the plot. Just when I think I have it all figured out and I'm loving and hating the so called villain to only then be thrown a curveball, well that is the understatement of the year with this book.
Too Good To be True is told from 3 different Point of views that had me so hooked I couldn't just put it down, had it not been for sleep I would most likely have finished it in one sitting. This story is so unhinged full of horrible toxic types of relationship that at one point I was questioning my own marriage. If these are things you love in mystery books, I highly recommend. I know it is also listed as a thriller but it's not a jump out of your seat - Boo type of book so for me it falls more towards mystery.
