The Other Couple- Sarah Naughton

Asha is on her honeymoon on a luxurious island with her husband Ollie. Ollie has been

surrounded by luxury all of his life whereas Asha has had to claw her way up. One day

she wakes up to find herself in strange surroundings and is struggling to put the pieces

together. She remembers the wedding but not much else. What on earth has happened

to her and where is Ollie? The story alternates between the wedding, the honeymoon

and Asha in the hospital. One of those tales you dive into and don’t want to let go. The

intrigue is there from the start and almost palpable at time. I took to Asha very quickly

and felt not only for her predicament but also that she was beginning to feel trapped

by the whole luxury of Ollie’s life. She had seen the world in a different way- both

physically and mentally and his trappings really didn’t interest her.A mystery, vague

clues, a rather dark tale in parts. One that put me in a spin and my brain working

overtime to try and reveal what had happened. That said it’s really not one of

those books where you can put it together- so very cleverly woven is the story-

just as I love it. If you love psychological thrillers that keep you on tenterhooks

and that slightly anxious feeling then maybe give this a read. 5* from me.
