I find it way harder to review audiobooks because it always feels like I might've been missing something? Maybe I would've had a little bit better of an experience if it was in print.

I decided to pick up A Good Marriage because I wanted to try a more domestic thriller (even though I usually try really hard to stay away from them). Overall, I think I had a pretty good experience. I enjoyed a mid-way twist that I thought was exceptionally plotted which was better than the end of the book reveal. I also enjoyed Lizzy's commentary a lot. It was interesting to know more about the court case and how her own life may be connected to the crime itself. Usually, I like books to be told from the perspectives of the victims and people affected by the death, but I didn't really get the same amount of enjoyment from the other half of the book. Mommy drama and gossip usually isn't my favorite thing to read about, but sometimes it can be enjoyable.

I thought this was a pretty solid drama, if you tend to like the more dramatic side of the book in Amanda's perspective you will definitely enjoy this.
