This isn't a genre that I would normally read. However, Perfect Strangers was recommended so I decided to give it a go. It had me gripped from beginning to end. it's a perfect example of how Paul and Sophie (and others in real life!) could allow themselves to be manipulated, driven by their desires but not with a fairy tale happy ever after ending!.

I thoroughly enjoyed Perfect Strangers. Having been fortunate enough to hear the author read a short extract live, I never expected the story to be this accessible, original, and gripping. Sophie and Paul have found a special place in my heart. And those twists and turns! It was an utterly amazing read. I couldn't put the book down until I'd finished. It was so good, I think I might just read it all over again.

In the first half of the book, the main characters, Paul and Sophie, are well developed and their daily routine easy to understand. This gave me a good insight into each of them giving me a clue as to how they might behave in given situations. Sophie would be logical, practical, with a spreadsheet not far away while Paul would be more easy going and friendly.
However, upon each of them meeting a mysterious character, they behave completely out of character showing what a strong influence the new person is to them both.
TG Trouper has written this character U-turn convincingly which compelled me to read on, discovering how the two are drawn into a completely different mindset and, ultimately, lifestyle. Dialogue is good too; easy to follow and understand.
What began as a curious read learning about the routine of a young couple resulted in a dark story with a thrilling ending.
