The Wife Between Us is one of those
books that is best to go in blind with no expectations and no knowledge of what
you are about to read. You will try to
guess what is going on, but you will be wrong.
You will think you know the ending, but again, you will be wrong. Everything you read will be puzzling and at
times confusing, but trust me, the answer to your questions will be unveiled
and you will end this book saying ‘Holy Crap!’.
Yes, this book is good…..dang good.
To say I
devoured this book would be a major understatement. This book consumed every waking moment of my
life and when I wasn’t reading it, I was thinking about it. Other reviewers are 100% correct – this book
is “fiendishly clever” and will definitely “keep you guessing” right up to the
very end. I loved the fact that the chapters
were short which made this one easy to read, but although short, each chapter
was building upon the last and ending in a jaw dropping conclusion. This story has so many twists and turns and
so many layers, you will find yourself reading until the wee hours of the
morning…..and just when you think you know what is going on, there is another
twist and you will find yourself needing to know more and saying ‘just one more
chapter’.
The
authors, Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen are pure geniuses! You would never guess that two people wrote
this book as it flowed effortlessly.
There is a lot of hype for this book, and now I understand why. It’s clever, gripping, and unputdownable. If you read just one book this year, I highly
recommend reading The Wife Between Us. With solid writing, a well-executed storyline
and enough twist and turns to make you dizzy, this exciting and engaging novel is
one you will not want to miss!
