Just The Nicest Couple book review

So, you know how you have that perfect couple on the street? They got the 2.5 kids, the dog, and the white picket fence. Well, the nicest couple usually has all the secrets. Keep reading to find out what book I'm reviewing today.

Hey, this is Kyla Denanyoh. Today, we're talking about mystery books. Mary Kubica's Just the Nicest Couple is fiction with a mystery suspense theme. 

So listen, y'all, I love this kind of book. These are the kind of suspenseful books that are like they're giving a Hallmark movie, like you can figure it out once you get to like the first third of the book, and you're like, oh my God, this is gonna happen. Oh, I can't wait to see it. Mary Kubica threw us all of the twists and turns. 

So you're reading the book. You have these two couples, okay, which you know to expect, just the nicest couple. One of the couple's gonna be nice, and one is gonna be not so nice. So you have Nina and Jake, and you also have Christian and Lily. And Christian is the perfect guy. They're about to have this baby. You're like, oh my God, they are just so cute. 

Well, of course, there's a secret. There's always a secret in these books. But the levels of secrecy were unexpected. So you have a missing earring, the couples, the friends, the wives being co-workers, and this big house, almost like the forest, and the background of the home has become such a big deal. Especially when you get to the second half of the book, and Christian goes snooping around, and it's like, is he gonna get caught on the ring camera, what's gonna happen? Fascinating. 

The most important thing about this book is the importance of inanimate objects. I named those off the earrings, forest, house, and baseball cap at once. You gotta read the book to figure it out, but you'll say, "Oh, I see what Kyla was talking about. Wow, look at this. Look at this fascinating." And then the ending you would never expect. 

I would love to take a creative writing course so I can figure out where they write the story like this and then completely change it, and that's how people will love it because that's what's happened. I'm following along with Mary Kubica, and then I'm like, no, what? It was so good, but I did not see that coming. It was just the loveliest couple, just the nicest family, and all of it. 

Would I reread this book? That's a surprise because calling this a hallmark movie-type book is not a compliment. Those movies are very formulaic: meet someone, fall in love, have a baby, have a conflict, boom, very, very, very formulaic. But this one broke the norm. I was expecting the formula but got pieces, so it was very different. And so would I read the book absolutely, and I would read other books by Mary Kubica.

This is my first time reading this author, and I loved it. I was on the edge of my seat, weirdly, because I was waiting to have that satisfying, ooh, I was right, and it never came because there were a bunch of twists and turns in this.  This is a classic mystery, very, very good.
