Too Far by Jason Starr
2.0

This book was not for me.

Jack is stuck in a loveless marriage with a job he hates and is just trying to stay sober for his son. An old friend introduces him to an extramarital dating site and one night he checks it out. When he goes to meet up for a date his life quickly goes downhill. He has to fight to prove his innocence and risks losing everything. He longs to go back in time to the life he once hated.

I struggled with pretty much all of it. I found Jack a really annoying character. He was just super moany and I could not connect with him at all. The lead detective guy was super unrealistic as well. His attitudes just switched halfway through and he became a completely different guy.

I also found the book pretty long-winded and I found myself switching off and skim reading. I just wanted it to end so I could find out what happened and get on with my life. Unfortunately, I saw the supposed “twist” coming a mile off which meant the ending was a bit disappointing.

Thank you to Jason Starr and the publishers for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review
