I expected more of a reaction the first time I hit her. Oliver Ryan, handsome, charismatic, and successful, has long been married to his devoted wife, Alice. Together they write and illustrate award-winning children’s books; their life together one of enviable privilege and ease—until, one evening after a delightful dinner, Oliver delivers a blow to Alice that renders her unconscious, and subsequently beats her into a coma. In the aftermath of such an unthinkable event, as Alice hovers between life and death, the couple’s friends, neighbours, and acquaintances try to understand what could have driven Oliver to commit such a horrific act. As his story unfolds, layers are peeled away to reveal a life of shame, envy, deception, and masterful manipulation.

Holy F**k!!! Holy Hell, OMG....just oh my f**k.....Freaking WOW!!!!! - That pretty much sums up on my feelings and reaction to Unravelling Oliver.
I have never really thought the opening sentence of a book was enough to have me hooked. Sure there are books with pretty amazing openings but it usually takes more than that to have my attention. Until I read Unravelling Oliver.
"I expected more of a reaction the first time I hit her."
Upon reading that I was 100% hooked onto this story. It is a shocking and slightly disturbing opening line that had me captivated. Unravelling Oliver is a tough one to describe without giving spoilers and I am going to try my hardest to keep this spoiler free because it is something you just have to read and discover for yourself.
