Another Perfect Marriage Filled with Lies
"I'm not afraid of storms for I'm learning how to sail my ship, well I've never feared bad weather either ... and then my Aunt does one of the bravest things I have ever seen, she smiles."
The Wife Between Us, written by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, wasn't bad but I was left wanting more. There were several twisty turns in the story that caught me completely off guard; however, I had figured the epilogue about halfway through the book. Several times in the first half of the book small sentences about the past hung there on the page like a teaser for so long that I had built them up in my mind and kept waiting for that real explosive reveal that never ended up coming.
Despite the thrilling piece I found lacking, I really loved the way Greer and Sarah built up "the perfect life". It felt so real even to me as a reader, the characters reacting the way a person would in real life. How the lies and fear break a person and a relationship, very powerful. Despite my three star rating, I would still recommend this book.
