Perfect Ten is a brilliant read packed full of betrayal, rage and good old fashioned revenge. I thought it was a lot of fun and I found myself staying up until the early hours, wanting to finish it.
Main character Caroline is definitely not the most level-headed woman you'll ever meet - but the more I read about what she'd been through with husband Jack, the more I understood why she felt the anger that she did, and by a quarter of the way in I'd have happily punched Jack in the face myself! Jacqueline Ward has created some truly powerful characters in Perfect Ten, in that they really provoked feelings in me - whether positive or negative - and made me root for Caroline. She was definitely unhinged and definitely extreme but I loved reading about her and was behind her all the way - I was definitely #TeamCaro!
This isn't all thriller, it has plenty of emotions wrapped up inside it as well, and I like that this novel is a mix of genres - women's fiction and thriller being two of them! It's firmly rooted in the 21st century with a lot of Caroline's revenge centering around Facebook and technology, but this doesn't cheapen the story like it has with other books I've read - it simply made me picture myself in Caroline's position today and helped me identify even more with her.
Perfect Ten is a lot of fun and addictive reading. Clear a few hours in your diary and enjoy!
