![]() ![]() Jake, who is making the bulk of their shared payments, is facing a stressful time at work. So Marisa moves in, plays house for a while, and that’s when the money troubles kick in. However, Marisa’s single friend, Jas, isn’t sold on this relationship! When Jas suggests that Marisa might be rushing it, Marisa is quick to brush off her concerns as jealousy. Marisa’s mother had left her when she was seven, so she has plenty of abandonment issues, making her believe a baby is a perfect fix to fill the hole in her heart. But Jake, who is in his late thirties, is more mature and stable than all of Marisa’s exes, so when Jake tells her that he wants them to start a family as soon as possible, Marisa doesn’t see a reason not to. Before meeting Jake, the 28-year-old children’s books illustrator had given up on love. Magpie begins when Jake, Marisa’s boyfriend of three months, asks her to move in with him. Magpie is about motherhood alright, but its story was just underwhelming! ![]() I haven’t read a thriller in a while, so when I picked Magpie, based on its synopsis, I was hoping the plot would be something in between Ashley Audrain’s The Push and Sandie Jones’s The Other Woman. My disillusionment with thrillers continues… ☹️ ![]()
