🪨📃✂️ Rock Paper Scissors ✂️📃🪨"Why do people only learn to live in the moment when the moment has passed."Things have been wrong with Mr and Mrs Wright for a long time. When Adam and Amelia win a weekend away to Scotland, it might be just what their marriage needs. Self-confessed workaholic and screenwriter Adam Wright has lived with face blindness his whole life. He can’t recognize friends or family, or even his own wife.Every anniversary the couple exchange traditional gifts – paper, cotton, pottery, tin – and each year Adam’s wife writes him a letter that she never lets him read. Until now. They both know this weekend will make or break their marriage, but they didn’t randomly win this trip. One of them is lying, and someone doesn’t want them to live happily ever after.I was thinking that this has the potential to be one of the best thrillers I have read till date and I guessed it right. The characters were quite interesting and had a very strong persona which made the story more engrossing as I was always on the edge thinking who is believable and who isn't. The story as a whole was written perfectly as it did leave me with few questions which shows that the author knew the importance of not giving all the answers to the reader by the end and leaving them with something to ponder over.So yeah I am going to ponder over a few things in the coming days and this story is going to take up a large portion of my thinking time for a few days.Also this book can be a great read if you want to come out of a reading slump because the length of the chapters are quite short and also won't take much of your time and energy if you try to finish it quickly.

This is my first review about the writer. The writers style of writing took me a while to understand its interesting and keeps you hooked till the end with quite many twist and turns compelling the reader to turn back and check if you have read correctly or not. The style of suspense of the writer is directly in front of your eyes the whole time but with deception about the chatacters of the book. Very cleverly written and resonates with actual human tendencies that one can relate. Impressed with the book and would rate it 5 star for confusing me and fooling me to believe about my perception on reading the book.

First 250 pages seems to be around waste of time reading this book BUT the sudden twist in story makes it very engaging.each and every description given at first half will have a surprising connect in second half of the story .

A couple goes to the Scottish hills to a hotel turned converted yet deserted chapel near an old cemetery for a weekend away to repair their not-so-good marriage. But what if that weekend opens up secrets held for too long? Rock, Paper, Scissors is a thriller with a narration that keeps you hooked until the last page. The writing style is wonderful and keeps you intrigued. I loved the way the plot progressed, the spooky undertones with those haunted vibes. The twists are too good and absolutely unpredictable for sure. However, I do complain that the book relies on many coincidences, answers fewer questions than it ought to, and comments hell less on the real character of its characters. The author could have given the book a better closure.Also, if you have read many thrillers by now, the twists will not be shocking or jaw-dropping but are definitely difficult to predict.

This is a good read. I got the book in good condition too
