The Engagement by Samantha Hayes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
By far, one of the best psych thrillers I have read in recent memory, and I have read some good ones. Everything from the characters to the plot to the twists is top-notch. Told in “then” and “now” chapters from multiple character POVs, the plot never really lags. The story centers on an extremely sensitive topic (no spoilers), and it is obvious that the author did her homework. The loss, helplessness, and resignation are all clear in the characters. It was a page-turner to figure out how the past and present would eventually collide (and boy, did it). I guessed a few of the twists but not the entirety of the biggest one. Definitely recommend this one! This review was written based on a digital copy of the book from Bookouture.
