This book is full of so many twists! Just when I thought I had things figured out, I discovered I was wrong. It was so hard to put this book down, as I wanted to keep reading “just one more chapter.” If you think your mother-in-law is something else, just wait until you meet Pammie! I can’t believe this is the author’s debut book. I look forward to reading many more from this talented writer. The Other Woman is a psychological thriller at its finest!
Emily is leery to be in a new relationship after her ex cheated on her. But, then she meets Adam, and she realizes it’s possible to have a second chance at love. Then it comes time to meet Adam’s mom, Pammie. She appears to be a loving mother, but she treats Emily like she’s not good enough for her precious son, and Pammie goes to great lengths to show that (including multiple attempts at sabotaging their relationship). Of course, Adam is oblivious to it all. Will Pammie succeed, or can Emily stand her ground and have the marriage she’s always dreamed she could have?
The ending was totally unexpected! The book is fast-paced, and I wanted—no, needed—to finish the book and find out what happened. The Other Woman is one of the best books I’ve read this year (and I’ve read over 100 so far). It made me want to laugh, cry, and even throw the book (or, in my case, my Kindle) across the room on occasion. Flashbacks were interspersed throughout to fill in all the relevant details, but they never felt like info dumps. Sure, Adam and Emily seemed to rush to their engagement, but that does happen in real life, as well. If you’re looking for a new read that will grab you from the start, this is one to add to your list.
