sanju (on and off)'s Reviews > Rock Paper Scissors

I’m writing a fresh review, because the previous one, which I’d written simultaneously while reading this damned book, wouldn’t even barely come close to the anger I now feel after having FINALLY completed the book.


To put in simple words, I’M FUMING. The author seriously was wasted when she wrote this, I think. It was horrible. Poorly executed story, I mean, can it get any more lame? The beginning was a big unnecessary-information dump. Tedious work to read through those.


This is the tale of three psychotic people, who take turns “rock-paper-scissor”ing their lives away. I’m not kidding, who plays a game of rock, papers and scissors and decide if they are gonna stick together or go their separate ways. Twice.

The time they spend together stuck in the chapel. You see, she “almost let him fall” and he didn’t even know how but suddenly they’re on the road by some unanimous decision and they hit a woman in a red kimono, then he’s waking up in the bed and it all turns out to be a dream.

…I don’t know what to say.


And oh, after your husband cheats on you (with an excuse that he thought it was his wife, mind you! Faceblindness or not, he would have known!), you lure them into somewhere, plan to kick his current wife out and move back in to how things were before. Because that’s exactly how revenge turns out.


Meanwhile, Mr. Wright had some very conflicted events going on.

Adam at 5%: I love my wife.
Adam at 32%: any love I had left for her is spent.
Adam at 92%: It was never really love with Amelia.


Yeah, this idiot finally “realises” that he was coerced into the marriage, while it never really felt like “love” to him. They actually got me there, trying to convince me that he didn’t have a brain or will of his own, and was simply a puppet to Amelia’s show. Even when the sick bastard was the one responsible for everything that went down.

Dis-fucking-appointed.

Especially with the last two chapters. Look, I know the author was trying for a climactic and grand AF close to the novel, but that one? That was a sorry excuse for one. And Sam who-the-who’s chapter? Who even asked, I didn’t sign up for that? I didn’t care at all! Why not include Bob’s chapters while they were at it? That was the only thing missing from this shithole.


I thought I knew what I was getting myself into when I saw the reviews, but hell knows I didn’t expect it to be this bad. I feel like I shouldn’t even bother with one star.


I guess I should feel bad for bitching about this book and the way the author wrote it, but I don’t. Feeling irritated by that last sentence? Because who cares? That’s exactly how I felt when Adam spewed shit like that. Hell, I don’t think I’ll ever hate a character like I did Adam.
