Book review: THE UNRAVELING, by Vi Keeland


It begins relatively innocuous, a bitter widow rallying against her dead husband. But then it starts getting weird with all these obsessive tones, goes into twisted territory, and us readers are left scratching our heads.

Meredith went down the rabbit hole in this story of guilt, love/hate towards her husband, attraction towards another man involved in the tragedy, obsession and so many lies I don’t know how she kept them straight. 


It gets curiouser and curiouser as it twists some more, and Meredith is so anguished with her feelings, her fear, her guilt. It’s like being inside a tornado, being thrown around.


I felt for her, although at times I also judged her.  Who knows what you feel when you lose your husband under the circumstances she did, no wonder she didn’t know where to turn.


It’s not a thriller but it’s certainly suspenseful, surprising, enthralling like when you’re watching a rattlesnake waiting for the bite.  It’s full of lust and feeling lost, of trying to find your way out of a maelstrom of feelings and compulsions and strive for a normal life. Compelling and brilliantly executed!
