Not the Psychological Suspense I Was Expecting

Emily thought the new love of her life was perfect, until she meets his mother. Adam and his mother Pammie have an unbreakable bond, one that threatens the relationship as Emily is constantly rebuked by the woman. When it all comes to a head, whose relationship will survive?

Although The Other Woman is marketed as a psychological suspense, it is really just a straightforward thriller. The major component to the story, Emily's constant battle over Pammie's treatment of her and Adam's defense of the woman, would have been a non-issue in real life. With the relationship being in its early stages, it makes no sense that Emily would have stayed. I did like the small twist at the end, but the rest of the book was lackluster. For these reasons, I would be hesitant to recommend The Other Woman to readers.
