My Review
The Honeymoon by Gemma Rogers
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The Honeymoon pulled me in from the start. The premise of catching your husband cheating on your wedding day and then going on your honeymoon alone was instantly interesting.
The book is a quick, easy read and it definitely was written in a way that kept me wanting to read.
It did not feel like a thriller. For a good chunk of the book, it read more like women’s fiction. I actually enjoyed that despite it being different than I had originally been expecting. When it did take the departure into the thriller space, towards the last third of the story, it felt a bit forced.
The main character made some questionable choices which impacted my ability to enjoy her story.
The husband was awful and so were almost all the other characters except the main character’s parents and some of the people she met on her honeymoon.
Overall, The Honeymoon was a quick read. If you like women’s fiction, then you will like this one. I would happily read other things by this author.
