The Prisoner: The bestselling Richard and Judy Book Club pick for 2023

Product Information

Additionally, I thought the character development for Amelie was thorough and deep, creating an individual you can relate to despite never having been in her position. Paris has written a novel that I found to be completely page-turning, and the plot will carry you away if you let it!

The ending itself was somehow both satisfying and disturbing, but it also holds some realism, which only added to the overall plot. As she builds a career for herself in the magazine industry, she meets, and agrees to marry, Ned Hawthorne.My eyes started to glaze over until they popped open at the mention of a name and I had no idea who this person was, even though they were pivotal to the reveal. I try to twist away but something is pulled over my head, material, rough and tight, a hood of some kind. She has no idea why she’s here or what will happen to her, but is determined to survive at all costs. I really enjoyed this author's debut, and enjoyed her follow-up, The Breakdown, even more so, but then something happened and her subsequent releases have left a lot to be desired. Amelie will soon become friends with Carolyn's friends who are all in their 30's and work at the exclusive magazine, Exclusives.

This was a bit better than previous books I've read by this author, but I'm not really sure she's for me. Carolyn is a successful business woman, recently separated from her husband, who sees something in Amelie and offers her a job as a live-in housekeeper.I was nice to go back, and forth which was nice as my audiobook was slightly over 4 hours, I notice other reviewers of the audiobook are mentioning the glitch in shortened time with the audiobook. But then, both Ned and Amelie are kidnapped and held in separate dark rooms with only a mattress on the floor. Plot line is unique: a young woman married with a billionaire is kidnapped with her husband but being prisoner in a dark room is far better than her imprisonment of marriage! Some of the scenarios with Amelie, including her Vegas trip, seemed too far-fetched and unrealistic. When Ned presents her with an interesting proposition that will end in marriage, it seems like all of Amelie's dreams are coming true at once and a new and exciting life is just around the corner.

The protagonist is Poor You, the antagonist is So Evil, everyone else is unmemorable and exist just to be plot devices. Amelie in the past chapters came across really childlike - I know she was almost 20 but it read like she was way younger and it just king of bothered me. star book for me, Goodreads forces me to round one way or the other, so I will give this one the benefit of the doubt since I mostly enjoyed it. Overall this was certainly a quick, mindless read that kept me engaged but feel it was missing that depth to make me care about the final outcome. She works in restaurants mostly, but that industry doesn't necessarily equal security for a young woman still in her teens.

its a movie that youre willing to watch, but maybe one you put on in the background while you do other things.
