The Unraveling by Vi Keeland


This isn’t a love story.

It’s a story about obsession.

After experiencing a terrible loss, New York City psychiatrist Meredith McCall feels painfully adrift. When she crosses paths with a man with whom she has a tragic connection, she follows him, sparking an unhealthy obsession with Gabriel Wright. How is he doing so well while her life is in shambles?

But when Gabriel walks into her office as a patient, seemingly unaware of who she is, she knows it crosses all ethical and moral bounds to treat him. Yet, Meredith can’t bring herself to turn him away and becomes further entangled. With her life and career continuing to unravel, it appears that things could not get any worse…until they do.

 

REVIEW

 

Unexpected and engaging. The Unraveling is a very well-written psychological thriller by Vi Keeland, whom I already knew for her romantic-comedy books, which are fun and easy to read. Here she has definitely taken a turn with her writing; if I hadn’t read her name on the cover, I wouldn’t have recognized her as the author of this story.

In this book her writing is engaging, almost hypnotic that pushes you forward page after page.

It’s written through the POV of Meredith, a psychiatrist and psychotherapist who recently lost her husband in a tragic accident.

From the beginning I loved the alternating chapters with Meredith's past and present. Slowly discovering how her life has been turned upside down and why. 

In the past I have read many thrillers and I am used to trying to solve the puzzles I encounter in reading as I go along, but in this case all assumptions collapsed miserably. I could never have imagined a story like this, and especially its unexpected ending, a bit unsettling but absolutely perfect.

I think Meredith is a character who gives so many mixed reactions in the readers, some of it makes you angry, some of it you want to shake her and scream "wake up!" but you can't help but go on page after page to find out what awaits her. She is human, not perfect, and she makes mistakes, but she faces the consequences of her actions, always.

Gabriel is an absolute mystery and he is perfect this way.
