The Bigamist by Rona Halsall Book Review, When One Life Just Isn’t Enough
What happens when one life isn’t enough? This book review is about The Bigamist by Rona Halsall is a psychological thriller packed with deception, double lives, and jaw-dropping twists. But does it hit different when you’re high? If you love thrillers that keep you guessing, this one might be for you. Read my full review to see if it’s worth the hype or just another overhyped plot twist.
Things aren’t always what they look like, especially when someone’s hiding behind a web of secrets.
Rona Halsall is a psychological thriller in The Bigamist that keeps you side-eyeing every character. Emma’s got the whole “perfect life” thing down—loving husband, cozy home, the works. But when stuff stops making sense, she starts asking questions. Let’s say, the answers? Not what she signed up for. One discovery leads to another; before you know it, her world feels more upside down than a snow globe.
Emma is kinda complicated. She’s not the kind of character you slap on a “World’s Best MC” mug. She’s messy, makes terrible calls, and you’ll either yell at or cheer for her (sometimes both in the same chapter). But that’s what makes it so hard to put this book down. If you love stories packed with secrets, lies, and enough twists to make you say, “Wait, WHAT?”, you’ll have a good time with this one.
🔥 Lit Meter: 4.75/5 Lighters
- Readability When High: Super readable. But if you’re too zoned out, some sneaky details might slip by. Nothing tragic, you’ll still get the main story. Maybe bookmark anything that feels shady.
- Mind-Blown Factor: Twists hit you in waves instead of a one-punch KO. It’s a more “wait for it…” vibe that leaves you guessing at every turn.
- Vibe Check: Solid slow burn. It’s tense but doesn’t slap you with nonstop adrenaline. You’ll want to keep turning pages, but it’s chill enough not to fry your nerves.
- Smokability: Perfect for a hybrid strain. Something balanced that you’ll stay sharp enough to connect the dots but relaxed enough to enjoy the ride.
- Would I Reread Baked? Eh, maybe. Once you know the twists, the shock factor’s gone. But Emma’s train-wreck moments might be worth revisiting when you’re in the mood for drama.
I read this curled up on the couch, Kindle in one hand, a nice blunt in the other. Ideal setup. This book doesn’t slap you in the face with action, but it’s sneaky. The twists creep in like, “Hey, there didn’t see that coming, huh?” Low-key addicting. If character-driven drama and slow-burn mysteries are your jam, grab a cozy spot and give The Bigamist a go.
