Ha! I adore this insightful review from the Psychological Thriller Readers group on Facebook:
“The Butterfly Trap by Clea Simon is a toxic domestic drama where everyone plays everyone and believes they are the ones who are the players!
I must say I loved the concept of this book! So the book is told from Anya’s and Greg’s perspective. So technically we are reading the same story just one is told by Greg and another by Anya. I loved that even though it’s the same story it didn’t feel repetitive! Parts that we already witnessed in Greg’s story were nicely wrapped up in Anya’s story concentrating on parts that we didn’t know! So respect! That was clever!
This one is slow-burn so will not be good for readers who need constant action but the dynamics between characters and situations were excellent! Toxic but excellent.
Anya is a struggling artist and art is what she wants to do.
Greg is on his way to being a successful surgeon and all he needs is a wife. When he meets Anya, he is positive they are meant to be together. He is focused on getting married and having kids… but is this what Anya’s plan is?”
