The Wife Between Us is one of those "edge of your seat" novels, filled with many twists. You will constantly question every motive. Vanessa and Emma draw so many comparisons and live the anxieties of life that accompany divorce and marriage. This book challenges and part of its mystery centers on the preconceived ideas and perceptions people have about divorce or marrying someone with a past. The mystery of the story bends these societal norms, until your so twisted and uneasy about the past that you will be on the hunt to finish it.
There are cringe-worthy moments and moments that make you scream at the book or laugh. It continues to manipulate your emotions through strong story-telling and nail-biting moments. Not having all the information at times really goes a long way to move the story along.
I think the book falls short in one way, I would have loved to read a prequel from Emma's point of view or a sequel that intertwines other characters from the original story but in a completely new adventure.
