Too Good To Be True by Carola Lovering

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Outstanding)

I will refrain from sharing too much, so as not to spoil anything for the reader.

This psychological thriller is primarily narrated by three different characters: Heather Price, Skye Starling, and Burke Michaels. The story is spread out over two decades with the narrative switching back-and-forth from the past to present day life.

Heather Price and Burke Michaels are from a small town named Langs Valley. They both grew up in dysfunctional homes with little to no parental support. They eventually escape the clutches of their hometown and end up in New Haven, Connecticut. 

Heather and Burke get married and have three children. They begin having marital problems and end up in marriage counseling. The counselor recommends that they each begin writing in a journal. These journals become a major part of the developing plot.

Skye Starling is an affluent book editor living in New York City. She has three lifelong girlfriends, which are her primary social outlet. Skye has trouble developing meaningful longterm relationships due to her OCD, even though she desires to have a boyfriend. She hasn't been in a serious relationship, since she broke up with boyfriend, Max LaPointe, two years ago. 

I rated this thriller as 5/5 stars because it captivated my attention and kept me guessing the outcome until the end.  The plot moved along at a steady pace and the characters where interesting and believable.


"And I realized that life is tough, and there's so much we can't control, so when you can, you've got to choose love. Even when it's the hardest choice, even when it feels absolutely impossible, you've go to choose it. You've got to keep choosing love and fighting for it, over and over, no matter what. There's no other way, really." - Too Good to be True
