Jack Harper isn't a bad man, but he's stuck in a loveless marriage with a mediocre job just trying to keep sober. The only good thing in his life is his son. When an old college friend introduces him to a new extramarital dating website, he tentatively reaches out to find a distraction from his misery. But when he goes to meet up with his steamy online date, he quickly realises it was a dire choice. Soon, Jack finds himself desperately trying to prove his innocence for crimes he did not commit, and the life he once had - unhappy as it was - is nothing but a dream. Now, he's living his worst nightmare. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I actually really liked the character of Jack; I felt as if he was just going through the motions of life. Doing a job in real estate that he hates and with a marriage that is barely holding together, I don't know how he managed to stay sober. When he meets up with an old friend whose life seems illicit and exciting, Jack doesn't see the harm in logging on to an website for married people to hook up. He doesn't plan to register but when he gets a message from a woman who seems to be made for him, he can't resist. The moment he inputs his credit card details, wheels are set in motion that could see him lose everything he ever held dear and there's nothing as dangerous as a man who has nothing left to lose.
I'm sure many of us have dabbled in online dating (for singles though, not married people), there really is nothing as exciting as making that connection with someone who feels just right for you. Then you hear the horror stories of catfishing, where people pretend to be somebody they're not, and you wonder if the person you are connecting with really is too good to be true. It's a real minefield, as Jack found out in this book, and I really loved the way the author showed the two sides of the online dating coin.
Too Far is a very current thriller in this day and age of online dating; it's a gripping, fast-paced page-turner that I thoroughly enjoyed.
I chose to read an ARC and this is my honest and unbiased opinion. ( )
