Rock Paper Scissors A Novel

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.

3.75/5⭐️

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.

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

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.

Finally a twist that I wasn't expecting

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

I picked this book up this afternoon thinking I wouldn't be able to finish it before new year, instead, I abandoned my heavy uni work and read it in one sitting simply because I couldn't put it down. It's a total page-turner!! Every time I thought I had figured out the story, some other plot twist would blow my mind. The suspense was done well, and all the pieces fit together just right. I definitely recommend it!

ok so maybe after reading tons of thrillers I should be better at figuring out the twists, but Alice Feeney always surprises me! The twists were delightful, I was really into it and I had a great time!

For some reason, I didn’t think I was going to like it.. BUT I COULDN’T STOP READING OMG. The major twists, wow. My jaw was dropped during the last handful of chapters.

Honestly this was so fun at the beginning but it started to drag towards the middle and the end. I thought I had the plot twist figured out but Feeny def led me astray. But it was like jaw dropping, ‘stare at the wall for hours’ good. I will give her another chance though
