Psychological Thriller Book Review: The Perfect Husband by Danielle Ramsay

​This one delves deep into a coercive, manipulative, toxic relationship between a newly married couple. It sucks you right into their relationship and you feel as if you're experiencing all the physical, emotional and verbal abuse right along with the main character. 

The Perfect Husband is a claustrophobic read but has a satisfying ending. I enjoyed it for all the ways an awful man can twist things and so effortlessly isolate a woman from everyone around her - and even from her own sense of self. 

My only niggle - it really needed a thorough copy edit and proofread. There were loads of random, unnecessary question marks at the end of statements? Like that one? And this one? And here's another? Which got really annoying after a while. There were also some sentences that didn't make sense, bad grammar and incorrect word choice. But, if you can get past that, then it's a really good read!

Have you read it? What did you think? Comment below and let me know. 

Here's the blurb:

How do you know if you've married the wrong person?

It was a whirlwind romance and we had the perfect relationship. He was my dream partner, loving, caring, attentive… until the day I married him and things became toxic. 

I spent my wedding night in A&E with an ‘unexplained’ broken wrist – but I knew what happened…. My romantic illusions shattered. My fear of the future heightened. The man I had fallen in love with wasn’t the man I married.

And that was just the start of things to come.

Quickly things escalated. He isolated me from family and friends, and with no one to turn to, he began to control every part of my life. I tried to escape, but he watched my every move. Until one day he went too far, and I found my strength to fight back. I no longer wanted to be a victim. I wanted to live. I wanted my life back. But at what cost?

In sickness and in health and till death us do part…
