'Margot Hunt's cleverly constructed thriller kept me guessing till the very end.' Peter Swanson It was the perfect marriage - until everything went perfectly wrong... On their first date back in law school, Natalie and Will Clarke bonded over drinks, dinner and whether they could get away with murder. Now married, they'll put the latter to the test when an unchecked danger in their community places their son in jeopardy. Working as a criminal defense attorney, Nat refuses to rely on the broken legal system to keep her family safe. She knows that if you want justice...you have to get it yourself. Shocked to discover Nat's taken matters into her own hands, Will has no choice but to dirty his, also. His family is in way too deep to back down now. He's just not sure he recognizes the woman he married. Nat's always been fiercely protective, but never this ruthless or calculating. With the police poking holes in their airtight plan, what will be the first to fall apart: their scandalous secret - or their marriage?

When Will & Natalie find out a family secret there strained marriage is put to the test - but can they pull off the perfect murder together?
I'm not really sure how I feel about For Better and Worse. On one hand it's a very interesting premise and one which I think is quite unique - I liked the pacing of the plot and it was a very easy read. I also liked how the narration changed about halfway through the book from wife to husband, which I much prefer to the format of changing perspective each chapter. This gave you time to really get into the characters mindset and get to know them a little better before seeing the story from a different perspective.
On the other hand I didn't actually like the two main characters - Natalie and Will and found them quite hard to relate to. They both made some very silly mistakes which I got frustrated at and this seemed to be more for the sake of the plot than to make it realistic. Everything felt a little too convenient at times and (no spoilers!) the 'resolution' to the plot was very hard to believe. The actual ending I quite enjoyed though and it was an interesting twist to the story. Although it was easy to read in the moment I found it a little forgettable after I had finished it - it didn't inspire me to rave about it to others.
Overall For Better and Worse is a bit of a mixed bag - good concept and an easy read but let down by poor characterisation and convenient plot devices. Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin - Mira for a copy of the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
