The Eden Test

Seven Days. Seven Questions. Forever Changed.

Daisy has signed she and her husband, Craig, up for the Eden test. It’s a weeklong getaway for couples who want to take a deeper look at their marriage. They will answer seven questions to determine if their marriage is worth saving. What better place to do it than in a beautiful setting where a couple can re-evaluate their life together.

Craig is planning to leave Daisy for another woman and Daisy is struggling to hold on to her marriage. When he receives Daisy’s note telling him to come, Craig arrives ready to inform Daisy that he is leaving her. Daisy, a talented actress, has a few tricks up her sleeve (as well as burner phone) and wants to save her marriage.

As they begin answering the questions, things get interesting when lies, deception and secrets come into play. Just how well do they know each other? What secrets will be revealed?

This book has an interesting premise, a couple that are struggling. A husband preparing to leave his wife for another woman, a wife with secrets, and a beautiful setting. I thought I would love this book. In the end, I was all over the place with this book. I enjoyed some parts, I felt some parts were slow, others interesting, etc. It was entertaining and things do get a little OTT, but I can’t say that I loved this book. I put it in the liked not loved category.

One thing I did enjoy was the feeling that something wasn’t quite right. I enjoyed trying to figure out why Daisy had the burner phone and who she was communicating with. When revelations are made, I thought “Ok, this is interesting” and “I wonder how this is going to play out”. This book held my interest but unfortunately did not wow me. Others have enjoyed this book more than I did, so please read their reviews as well.

I listened to the audiobook and thought the narrator did a great job.

Thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
