I wasn‘t the woman he‘d married nearly a decade ago. I‘d gained weight, I rarely left the house, and I‘d begun to search for hidden meanings in Richard‘s actions, seizing upon clues that I thought indicated he was tiring of me.
She is everything Richard desires. Everything I used to be.
pickI discovered that nothing was as it seemed in The Wife Between Us! Along the way I had a lot of thoughts and feelings about the characters - some good and some very bad! I was told nothing was as it seemed and that is a very good way to put it! I enjoyed the journey very much and highly recommend!!

pick3/5 ⭐️ It got better as it went on. I predicted a couple things (one of them being the big twist in part one) but I was surprised by a few things! Especially the big twist at the very end! Gave me a bit of “The Housemaid” vibes by Frieda.
This was an okay short story. It was my #kindlefirst free pick for this month. I do like the square I made for it for for my #bookblanket #readingblanket2025 though! 😁

Feeling icky … finished a book, onto another….
I don‘t think that the tagged is a bad book. Just not for me so it probably will not be the worst book of the year.
bailedDNF- I felt really confused and couldn‘t keep the storyline straight. I did make the assumptions that were listed in the overview and wasn‘t engaged enough to continue. If you read this I suggest being able to give it time. Right now for me I didn‘t have that time and patience. #FableBR
I read The Anonymous Girl and really enjoyed it. I hope that this one has the same effect..when I ever get to this TBR that is 🤣📚 Purple, +15. #BookScavengerHunt #HauntedShelf #DeadSerious
pickTwisty for sure but at some points I was wondering what timeline the characters were in. It jumps back and forth here and there so it was little confusing as I wasn‘t consistently reading it everyday. I don‘t want to get into too much detail and ruin the story but this was a decent story that kept me engaged and the end twist I did not see coming.
so-soA story that follows an abusive marriage with twists and turns throughout the narrative, with themes of adultery, cunning, and domestic abuse. The story is entertaining for sure, but after a while the twists become a bit repetitive. The characters are pretty boring. It‘s not fresh or new in any way. A good one-time read. On Audible, Julia Whelan narrates clearly but again, pretty monotonously.
Congratulations, @KadaGul 🎉🎉

I received this ARC from Goodreads years ago, it was my first (and I think their first) book of theirs and I instantly fell in love with the writing.

pick“Help me Tom Cruise! Help my baby Jesus!” My thoughts when that twist dropped and they kept coming! If you think you know what the first half of the book is about, I promise you don‘t 😱
pickNot the mystery I was expecting, but many twists and turns. The first twist was odd, given the POV. The last one in the epilogue, I didn‘t see coming! Book #51 in 2023
pickI enjoyed this audiobook—another domestic thriller from Hendricks and Pekkanen—but it was a bit slow. It took a while for anything to be revealed and the twists weren‘t that shocking. The main character‘s actions also didn‘t align up properly with her motivation, so some storylines felt like they were specifically for shock value. But it was entertaining and enjoyable. I wanted to know how it all finished so it kept me engaged.
pick7-21-23: My 75th finished book of 2023! This book drove me crazy. The first part goes in one direction and then bam…you are redirected, more than once. I can honestly say that I was shocked and a little confused which is good but also frustrating. I don‘t really want to even give a synopsis because I feel like it will give too much away. Suffice it to say it‘s twisty and unnerving. ⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣7️⃣5️⃣
panI found this to be…boring. This brings nothing new to the genre, and is another thriller based on the tired trope of a “too good to be true” man who is really a monster. The first twist wasn‘t very shocking, and the subsequent twists just went downhill after that. The novel got repetitive in the latter half and just didn‘t have substance. And then the implausible epilogue was unnecessary and didn‘t add anything to the story. I was annoyed. 😂 2⭐️
pickNot to brag, but I usually figure out the twist early....but this book got me, twice!
Completed this bookish puzzle while listening to podcasts and the tagged book. I sure wish I didn‘t have to go back to work next week! 😬
Cannot wait to read my #creepychristmas books!! My husband took the box out immediately, to catch the recycling truck, and I can‘t find a card! So thank you to whoever this is from! Thank you to @teebe for organizing!!
so-soVery unusual book. Definitely a lot of twists. Surprise ending.
pickIt was good, but it was a bit confusing. The end finally makes it all work.
bailedI was extremely disappointed with this book. It had been on my TBR for a while. I kept waiting for the twist everyone was raving about and was going to give it until 150 pages. At 140 it was “revealed” but made me feel more tricked than twisted. I thought I could get over it, but when the ex-wife just kept whining, I‘d had enough. It would have been okay if I expected a straightforward domestic thriller.
This audiobook was well narrated, and that's a little tough given the complications in the story. Good plot twist in the Epilogue, don't miss that or you'll miss the crux of the story. I think I need to go back and listen again because half way through things aren't as you assumed. #listyAtoZ2022 for W
pickBook 32
I listened to The Wife Between Us, an engaging thriller about an abusive marriage with multiple surprising twists, one early on and the other late-in-the game. I enjoyed it more than I'd expected.
pickWhat I thought was going to be the big reveal came to fruition in Part 1, certain aspects were predictable, some shocking, some were absolutely bonkers. Lots of good twists.
A woman struggling after divorce becomes obsessed about exhubs new young fiancé while guzzling wine &dealing with the reality of being broke in NYC. She finds him manipulative, but she has orchestrated deceptions of her own, how can she get his new bride-to-be listen to her?
I got to the twist I was waiting for… but there‘s a solid 225+ pages left in this book… where do we go from here?
😬😬😬
panOkay, the beginning of the story was really captivating, but after the first twist it started to fall a little flat. The concept was great, but it could have been executed better I think. Also some of the side plots took up too many pages (like Maggie and Jason). The final twist had me rolling my eyes. Come on really? And the whole thing w/ his sister was a little off-putting. So was she in love with her own brother? Ugh. It had potential tho..
pickBook 2/25 for this year so far! I highly highly recommend this book to anyone who loves books with twists.
Starting a new book! Haven‘t heard anything about this one so I‘m excited 💍
pickListened to audiobook. Started out thinking one thing, then twists and turns just kept coming all the way until the end! Enjoyed this one.
pickThe twists & turns are better than any roller coaster I‘ve ever been on! Loved it!!
