The Wife Between Us
The Wife Between Us | Sarah Pekkanen, Greer Hendricks
A clever thriller with a masterful twists. Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author of The Kept Woman "A fiendishly clever romantic thriller in the vein of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train. This one will keep you guessing." Anita Shreve, New York Times bestselling author of The Stars are Fire "The Wife Between Us delivers a whip smart, twisty plot in a taut, pacy narrative. It's terrific and troubling. This is one scary love triangle where you won't know who to trust. I loved it." Gilly Macmillan, New York Times bestselling author of What She Knew "A twisty, mind-bending novel about marriage and betrayal. A gripping plot and fascinating characters; this book will keep you turning the pages and guessing until the very end. A must-read!" Lauren Weisberger, New York Times bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada A novel of suspense that explores the complexities of marriage and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love. When you read this book, you will make many assumptions. You will assume you are reading about a jealous wife and her obsession with her replacement. You will assume you are reading about a woman about to enter a new marriage with the man she loves. You will assume the first wife was a disaster and that the husband was well rid of her. You will assume you know the motives, the history, the anatomy of the relationships. Assume nothing. Discover the next blockbuster novel of suspense, and get ready for the read of your life.

Twisty 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.

A 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.

I 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.

7-21-23: 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

I 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⭐️

I 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.

A story detailing marital abuse and the lengths someone will go to for control. The ending caught me off guard, but the craziest part (to me) involved the sister. I won‘t say more than that. If you like domestic thrillers, you‘ll probably enjoy this book.

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

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.

I wanted to be blown away by this one, but unfortunately I wasn‘t ☹️ I‘m giving it a soft pick because there were lots of twists, but by the end I was just worn out and wanted it to end. Some things were predictable and some I‘m still scratching my head about (the sister) This is my first book to read by these authors and I‘ll give them another go. Maybe I need a break from psychological thrillers 🤷‍♀️

What 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?

EadieB I hope you are starting to feel better. I‘ve read this book. My review: A twisty plot with a scary love triangle and you don't know who to trust as the narrators are unreliable. The characters lack depth and you can not assume anything as you will be proven wrong. The novel is a bit confusing and convoluted in parts and it's not until the epilogue that you finally find out what has been going on. (edited) 3y

Okay, 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..

My #BookSpin for this month, a good read but not great. Quite a few twists and an unexpected ending but overall I felt it had a lot of parts that could have been omitted and made it shorter and more dynamic, I would have enjoyed it more as a novella. Still a pick, barely one though.

I was also able to finish a #BookSpinBingo, here is my board. Thanks @TheAromaofBooks for pushing me to read more, can't tell you how much I appreciate it!

Maybe I‘ve just OD‘d on psychological thrillers. I was intrigued by the story and finished the book. Maybe I‘ve read too many books with rich, too good to be true, rich, handsome men. Think I‘ll take a break from thrillers for awhile and read a nice, interesting book that I can leisurely read. Good, not great. I think the twists were ok.

This was ok. Started a bit slow, a million things happened in the end, and the epilogue changed everything. It yielded moments of curiosity and interest but overall, a bit generic and predictable. Prob won‘t blow anyone‘s mind but worth a read!

I didn't love it but didn't hate it either. Suspense novel about a woman escaping from her abusive husband with some predictable twists along the way.
