The Perfect Couple - Likewise Book Reviews

"So many layers, so many characters, so many angles. The author takes us on a journey through several families colliding in Nantucket for a wedding, revealing twist after twist until the very last page. I will read more of this author."

"The book was an easy beach read. I enjoyed it until the ending which was truly a bust for me. "

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Great read! Every chapter was a new twist in the story 😱"

"I was looking for a summer mystery romance book and The Perfect Couple hit every target. The mystery plot was laid out well. I was suspicious of every character because everyone had secrets and flaws. I loved how the romance plots were written. We get to read Karen and Bruce’s love story, Celeste and Otis’, and Celeste and Shooter’s morally ambiguous love story as well. "

"This is a long one but worth it! Love the murder mystery style and the details from all the characters. "

"So many twists that I didn't know how it would end until the bitter end. Definitely an author that I will be reading more from now! My first book of hers!"

"Just finished Remarkable Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt. It’s a fun read written from an extremely unique perspective…by an Octopus. "

"The perfect beach read has arrived! I can attest to this with certainty since I read it on the beach. I’ve always loved reading mystery books whilst breathing in the sea air, so combine that with the always summery Elin Hilderbrand novels and you have perfection. Truthfully I kept forgetting it was a mystery, but I certainly didn’t guess the ending and I thought it was marvelously well done! I hope she does more like these in the future!"

"I just finished "The Perfect Couple" by Elin Hilderbrand and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised! I'm usually not one for contemporary fiction, but Hilderbrand's writing style had me hooked from the start. <br/><br/>The book is a real page-turner - a classic whodunit that will keep you guessing until the very end. Hilderbrand has a way of doling out little tidbits of information throughout the story that will keep you on your toes and constantly reevaluating your theories. <br/><br/>And let me tell you, I was wrong more times than I was right! The ending was definitely unexpected and a little sad, but it felt true to the story and left me thinking about it long after I finished the book. <br/><br/>Overall, I would highly recommend "The Perfect Couple" - it's a great example of a well-done mystery with plenty of twists and turns to keep you engaged."

"Loved this book!"

"So good, didn’t want to put it down. I finished it on a 5 day vacay. The ending was sort of anti climatic. It wasn’t as shocking as I had hoped. Still a great book. "
