Upended Family Ties.I enjoyed The Wives and Marrow by this author which led to requesting The Wrong Family. Juno lives in a small studio let out by Winnie and her husband with access to the whole house and use of the kitchen. When she overhears an argument one day, it sets her on fire. It’s none of her business, she knows that, but she wants to take action to right a wrong.Kudos to the author for creating a sixty seven year old character with multiple health challenges. I could feel her aches an...

Instagram || Twitter || Facebook || Amazon || PinterestI really enjoy Tarryn Fisher's books, even though they all kind of have a "samey" vibe to them. You know what I mean. The plot of every Tarryn Fisher book ever can basically be summed up like this:F***ed up individual meets another f***ed up individual and then reader discovers that FUI #1 has been grossly downplaying how f***ed up they actually are to FUI #2. But FUI #2 has also been grossly downplaying how f***ed up they are to FUI #1.

The Wrong Family by Tarryn Fisher is one of my new favorite books! Fisher brings her dark twistedness to a whole new level in The Wrong Family! The Wrong Family is a must read for thriller fans.The Wrong Family is so dark and twisted. You think it can’t get darker and then it does just like you expect in a Tarryn Fisher novel. Nothing is as it seems. There were multiple times I thought I figured it out and thought the revelations weren’t big enough. That was because I was wrong and the revelatio...

Oh no! Nope! Nooooooooooo! Nooooo!!!The brain cell fryer, nail biter, soul crusher Fisher book I looked for cannot be found at this moment so leave your message to author and wish next time she will release a book you may truly adore !This is not my favorite dark side of Tarryn! I missed her mind bending , surprising, twisty, gut punching writing style! Since Mud Vein, I swore to read anything she would write! But this one... I barely find the right words because I don’t want to use negative wor...

Just.... no.https://youtu.be/5X-CUz2ybCw

4 stars As soon as I finished The Wrong Family, my first thought was what the heck did I just read... that's not an uncommon thought after finishing a book by Tarryn Fisher. I'm fascinated by how she thinks of these storylines. Though the first part of the book was a bit slow for me, I was engrossed. And after I got to the half way point, I couldn't put this book down. I had to know what would happen next. This story has two narrators, Juno and Winnie. Both are intricate and complex, and I wa...

I’m having a really relaxing day with my husband so I don’t think anyone here really wants to hear my nasty ongoing thoughts about this book. I read it! ( almost enough said )It was barely readable — but I read it to the end — jumped through hoops to ride out the explosive burst towards the end....I’m the mood ( searching?/!) for a gripping intelligent page turning engrossing psychological thriller… But I am unwilling to go through 10 books to find. ‘one’ I like. If anyone has a suggestion for m...

This book is by far one of my favourite reads of the year. Fisher's writing is razor sharp, her dissection of the human psyche is visceral, and her plotting is simply brilliant.

Review also published on blog: https://books-are-a-girls-best-friend...There is Dysfunction and then there is “The Wrong Family.” Freaking Weird, Wild, and Wholly Unexpected.Frankly, I’ve NEVER READ ANYTHING LIKE IT and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t tear my eyes away. I was like a rabbit eating my way through my neighbor’s lettuce patch… hungry for more.(I’m not exactly sure what that says about me, but let’s not analyze that one. (especially if you’ve already read this book, lol!))So y...

I feel like I wasted my time reading this book, and I rarely feel this way even when I read a book I didn’t enjoy. I didn't expect this to be good but I was at least hoping it would be just bizarre, shocking, and over-the-top enough to be entertaining like The Wives. So much of the story felt slow, pointless, and meandering, with flat characters and mental illness once again being used as a plot device.

I finished this thriller several days ago and have been struggling to find anything worthwhile to say about it. Guess I was The Wrong Reader for The Wrong Family.

3 stars.This is one shocking and wild story! This author has a brilliant way of incorporating unexpected twists and turns, making you back up a few pages to reread. I love that about her plot lines!I’ve read two of her previous books — The Wives and Bad Mommy— and loved them both. Unfortunately, I didn’t connect with this one nearly as well as those two. My high expectations left me feeling underwhelmed. It took almost 50% of the book for me to feel somewhat invested in this story. I didn’t part...

Well, I certainly wasn’t expecting that!💁🏻‍♀️Juno is a former therapist, married with a family. Then she lost it all. Down on her luck, she finds the perfect solution by moving in with Winnie and her family. Juno doesn’t take up much room and does her best to be as unobtrusive as possible. But there’s something odd going on in the house between Winnie and her family. And Juno, ever the therapist, can’t just turn her back on and ignore.Oh my gosh! What a wild and freaky ride! The storyline is so

STOP 👏 USING 👏MENTAL 👏 ILLNESS 👏 AS 👏 A 👏 PLOT 👏DEVICE! 👏 I wanted to give Tarryn Fisher a second chance after I HATED The Wives for the above reason, but I really shouldn’t have bothered. Her use of mental illness as a plot device is even more atrocious and unnecessary in this book and I am completely done with her. There is absolutely no reason for a thriller author to demonize and perpetuate negative stereotypes about mental illness. Not only is it harmful, but it is overdone and just plain l...

This is a creepy stalker novel that is told in dual timelines—the then and the now, as well as the reader gains perspective from both the wife of the family that is preyed upon as well as the hunter. Nigel & Winnie:This is also a story about how drastically a marriage can go wrong from just one little secret. Money can’t buy happiness nor remit wrongful past or present behavior. Neither can having the most perfect son, Sam, that they’d always wanted.“Now she lived in her dream home with her drea...

3 StarsThis story was over the top! What I read was unbelievable and irrational. I loved "Bad Mommy" and enjoyed "The Wives" but I can’t say those things for "The Wrong Family". I also didn’t like any of the characters. Told in dual POV, 3rd person, it’s a standalone novel and slow-paced. All in all, it was an OK read and hope you enjoy it more than me!

EXCERPT: She tried to understand what she was reading. It was a blog. She could see several blog titles in the box that said DRAFTS, all of them yet to be published. 'You've been busy,' she heard herself say out loud. Snooping was wrong, but what was the harm in taking a little peak - it wasn't like she was some stranger off the street. Once upon a time, she'd been a bonafide psychologist, for God's sake. She felt a wave of excitement that didn't have anything to do with being a psychologist. It...

Winnie Crouch has worked hard to build her dream of the perfect family: a stable marriage to a good-looking husband, a young teenage son and the perfect house in a prestigious lakeside suburb in Seattle. But lately life has not been so perfect; she and her husband Nigel have been arguing a lot and she’s worried that the grievous mistake she made fourteen years ago is the cause of all their problems. Juno, an elderly woman, also once had a family, a home and a career as a therapist but lost them

I will be right back with this review. If you follow me on social medias, you'd already know. She f*cked me up.Alright here we go. The Wrong Family. What can I say about this book? Well, I'm not going to say a lot because if there's one thing you need to do, that's go into it blind. I read this without reading the blurb, so I wasn't sure what to expect, though it's T Fisher, so that's the norm. What I will say. This book is THE BEST BOOK I READ IN 2020. I don't say this lightly, and I'm not f*ck...

Review published in: https://diagnosisbookaholic.blogspot....Do you know those books that go on and on, and they have gone for so long you think you must be reaching the end but then you check your progress and you're only halfway through? The wrong family was that kind of book for me. OMG! It took me foreeeeever! And the moment I finished it I wondered "why did you suffer through this?"The plot was, in one word, RIDICULOUS. It was all over the place, nothing exciting happened for the most part,...
