I simply adore the cover art of The Guilt Trip and overall the writing was good in this tale of love, jealousy, and deceit.
This story swerves a bit out of my genre zone and at times felt shallow . . . more like a soap opera during sweeps week (I’m guessing that last comment reveals my age). I usually prefer to peel back layers . . . deeper, darker novels with more complex personalities and motivations.
Sandie Jones features several self-absorbed characters (sometimes real enough to annoy) that would benefit from many hours of couch time in a therapist’s office going over the basics of honesty and proper communication skills.
For some, this will make a satisfying lazy day beach read.
I’d like to thank the author, NetGalley, and Minotaur Books for allowing me to read an advance copy of The Guilt Trip for an honest review.
