4.5 Stars!
The Wife Between Us was an absolutely thrilling read with amazing characters and clever twists.
This book is one of those ones that’s hard to review as giving even a minor detail away could spoil the story. So I will at its’ core, The Wife Between Us focuses on a woman whose husband has left her for a younger woman. It follows a woman who becomes obsessed with her replacement and is determined to stop her ex-husband from remarrying.
The Wife Between Us is very much a character driven story and the characters are where this book shines. I’d say the main character in the story is Vanessa who is the woman whose husband left her. Through Vanessa we meet all of the other characters and her story is the one that very much drives everything forward. There was only one character, Richard’s sister Maureen, who I wish we got to know more about. All of the other characters are very well fleshed out with great backstories and motivations.
The writing in this book is fantastic and easily pulls you in. The book has an addictive quality to it and I read the book from start to finish in one sitting needing to know what was going on. The authors do an amazing job tying together the different storylines and weaving together the lives of the characters involved. The further along we got in the story the harder it was to tell who was lying and who was telling the truth. There were several fantastic twists and the tension that builds up between events was very well done.
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed The Wife Between Us as there was a lot of hype surrounding this book. In the end though it really is a fantastic read and I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a great domestic thriller with clever twists and amazing characters.
