I first picked up The Wife Between Us for my Thriller book club and it seemed like something I would have been generally excited to read. I was intrigued by the synopsis as soon as I read it and was captivated by the plot line that the synopsis kind of gave away. But as I read, I was growing more and more disappointed.
The first 30 pages were interesting enough to keep me wanting to read The Wife Between Us, but as I drew closer and closer to about the 70 page mark I kept losing interest, falling asleep, and just finding anything and everything to do besides reading this horrid of a novel. The story became confusing and I'm generally not a person that tends to really get confused or lost within a novel.
Reasons why I rated it 1 star:
1. The story became boring very fast.
2. The story was confusing and seemed like the author just threw snip-its of ideas together.
3. There was a plot and then in a matter of 70 pages, there seemed to not be a plot.
4. I became generally frustrated with all of the characters. They lacked depth and meaning.
