I Don’t Forgive You was an extremely action packed book that was so very hard to put down. I was re-cleaning things that were already spotless just so I could keep listening. I just couldn’t fathom the shit show Allie was going through! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It started off with a simple neighborhood party. Allie and her husband Mark had just moved into a upper class DC development with their little boy. Allie was anxious to get to know the residents and make some friends. She had a couple of drinks and got a little flirty with a single dad who took it to far. He cornered her in the bathroom which was scary enough but then he called her by an old nickname she had long ago buried with her dark and secret past. So frazzled and upset Allie decides not to tell her husband about the assault worried about the matter escalating.⁣⁣

The next day Rob, the handsy single dad ends up dead and it looks like murder. Allie becomes suspect number one after the police find their ongoing Tinder engagement. The problem is Allie doesn’t have a Tinder account or had even known about Rob until the night of the party. Someone has hacked her and they are continuing to do so, writing crazy Facebook posts and doing other online damage. It is affecting everything in her life. Her marriage, her job and her freedom, maybe even her life. Allie has to find out who is behind this and figure out if her demons from the past are coming to haunt her. ⁣⁣

I really enjoyed this domestic, psychological thriller, it was a fast paced and entertaining read. There was definitely an abundance of tension. Pretty much felt myself mopping my brow of sweat a couple of times..lol. I really wasn’t sure who was behind Allie’s personal attacks. The book offers you a wide range of suspects. People like her aloof and unfriendly neighbor, her completely self centered sister, some of her “friends”, even the babysitter, and of course people from her past. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And while I really liked it, I did have a problem with a couple of things. Namely a couple of the characters. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Mark is a serious jackass and I couldn’t believe as Allie’s husband he really didn’t believe his wife. She got zero support from him. I get people cheat, but some of what was being posted and other things that were popping up at home were completely out of character for Allie. That should have made him think a little…hmm is this really like my wife?! 🤦‍♀️ At one point he was worried she needed to go to rehab for a drinking problem. Hello! I’d be drinking too if I was a suspect for murder and my life was being shredded to pieces! ⁣⁣
To me it was a little unbelievable how completely unsupportive he was.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Oh and her little boy was a whiny brat that really got on my nerves. I wanted to reach in and give that kid a spanking myself!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the main themes I got out of I Don’t Forgive You especially was about the importance of social media. To be careful what you post. Things that you have posted in the past can and just may come back to haunt you, because once it’s out there on the web it’s pretty much there for life. 👀⁣⁣
