MY REVIEW
Well…I only wrote down one sentence in my notebook for review notes:
Olivia lives the world of a rich, trophy wife. She is a slave to her husband, not free to do anything he doesn’t approve. I love that she has her way of getting even and letting out a bit of her frustration. I laughed out loud. Take that Mr Serial Killer.
This is not a dark and gritty, soul sucking suspense thriller that I love so much, but it does have its moments. I saw where someone likened it to Big Little Lies and I agree.
As Sick As Our Lives, to me, is an in depth look at someone who is so beaten down by her husband, that she cannot make a move without his approval. It’s not about the serial killer husband, it’s about her, Olivia. It takes her a long time to come to realize and accept who he is and what she is going to do about.it.
You have to walk in her steps. Live in her make believe world where all is sunshine and unicorns…NOT. It is easy to put on a false face. to hide your true self from others. Imagine you are frozen, unable to make any decision for yourself. How long would it be before you make a move to save yourself? How would you go about getting our from under a domineering, controlling, dangerous significant other? Some women never do, and pay the ultimate price. Is that Olivia’s future? Waiting for HIM to be done with her? Waiting for HIM to decide when he has had enough of her? Or…
You will have to read it for yourself to find out. LOL
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of As Sick As Our Secrets by A B Whelan.
