Thank you to the wonderful St. Martins Press for sending me this book for free, In exchange of an honest review. 

I don't even know where to start with this review. This book had so many twists and turns. Not once was anything on the straight and narrow. Once I had felt I had the characters figured out, I was totally blindsided. At one point, after the ending of part one, I needed to just put the book down, stop reading, and process what I had just read. I had to sleep on it, and gather my thoughts before I could read anymore. If I had continued, I probably would have been way to confused. 

I really liked the main character, I liked her from the beginning of the book, all the way to the last page. The authors did such a fantastic job with character development, there was such a wide cast of characters, all whom came with traits that I both loved and hated. i had thought that I knew exactly how this book was going to end, and I was pretty disappointed that I had it figured out, and with just the turn of the page they kept it from becoming predictable. Which was so fantastic, as I read a lot of Domestic Thrillers/Suspense. So it was nice to read a book that kept me on my toes. 

This was my first read of Greer's, and Sarah's, it is safe to say that I am a fan, and I hope to read more of their books in the future. If this book is any inclination to how well the write, that I am itching to read more.

I received this book free of charge from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

If you liked Gone Girl, you will love this book. The number of twists and turns this book had kept me guessing the whole time. It is hard to write this review without giving too much away.

It starts out where you meet Nellie, who is about to get married to Richard and Vanessa who was recently divorced from Richard. You hear their stories of their lives and how they got to the point where they are now. About half way thru is the first major twist. I actually had to go back to the beginning and read the first part again as well the the previous chapter to make sure I hadn't missed something. Because what you thought was true, may not be.. or is it.

The authors wove the story together seamlessly. You would never know that this was written by two people.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Lots of surprises to the story that you aren’t expecting. Mystery that you just can’t possibly figure out until they reveal the ending. Didn’t want to put it down. Enjoyed it a great deal.

An entertaining book that kept me guessing throughout. The first half of the book sets up the many questions in this mystery about Richard and the women in his life: Is he a victim or a tormentor; or is it possible that he could be both? The second half is when this tightly woven story starts to unravel and slowly answers are revealed until the very end. This is one of those books that I would enjoy twice, first going in blind and a second time to catch all the little details that become clear once you have all the answers.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Great read!! This book had me hooked from the start. With unexpected twists throughout it had me guessing til the end. I will definitely be reading more from this author.

Everyone has been raving about this book and even claiming that this could be *THE BOOK* of 2018 as far as psychological thrillers go. I will say that I did read it quickly as I wanted to see how it all played out but it didn't come without flaws. I found the narrative in the first part of this book incredibly confusing even though I didn't realize that until the 2nd part started and I'm like WTF is going on. I had to go back and re-read / skim some chapters to figure out what was actually happening so, unfortunately, that did detract from some of my enjoyment of this novel. I find the more twists a novel has the less believable it becomes and this book may of had one too many twists for my particular liking.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Plot was not unique, but it was smart and well-written. I enjoyed reading on to find out "what happens next." I especially liked the way the authors tied all the loose ends together.

LOVED this book.

A tense physiological thriller that keeps you in suspense throughout.

The first and final plot twists in particular caught me completely off guard in the best way possible. I'm pretty sure there were audible gasps.

Hooked from the get go I read this in one sitting. It's definitely a book that will get people talking.

Thanks to NetGalley, St Martins Press, Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Expect the unexpected because nothing is quite what it seems.

It was just a mediocre read for me. I was interested in it to begin with because Sarah Pekkanen was a co-author. The book is broken out into 3 parts. upon reading the first part, it felt like the end. Then, broke out into 2 more parts that become so criss-crossed between flashbacks and character flashbacks, that I just wanted it to be over.

From the beginning it felt as if the story line and the way it was written was very similar to that of Liane Moriarty. (Whom I happen to love.) Had I not read almost all of her books, then this one may have been rated higher. But I just couldn't get past feeling like I was re-reading the same story with different character names in a different city.

I read it in under 48 hours, so if you are looking for something quick, this fits the bill. It's worth a read if you love chick-lit suspense. I would recommend it overall, just not as a priority read

I'm always up for a good thriller. They captivate my attention when it has been pounded by life's daily tasks, or by such cleverly written books that I am hungry for something especially plot driven.
It's a little disconcerting, halfway through this novel, to find that the narrator named Nellie, and the narrator named Vanessa, are one and the same. At first I thought they were terribly similar women, each giving an account of being married to Richard, who frankly, sounds like the husband in Sleeping With The Enemy.

He is rich, and elegant, and controlling, and not quite the man they think he is with etiquette that has been manor-born. No, he is self-taught in how to excel in both business and style. He seems too good to be true.
So if Vanessa and Nellie are the same, who is this girl Richard is planning to marry? She is some heart-faced, shapely assistant, whom Vanessa follows and tries to warn. The only thing is, Vanessa seems less than credible.
She drinks too much. She is unable to appear with regularity at Saks where she works in the clothing department. She seems too emotionally laden to string two coherent sentences together. She is utterly unreliable.

But her replacement, the assistant named Emma, isn't all she pretends to be either. Even Richard's sister, Maureen, has implications in Vanessa's story.

It is a book intricately wrought, with revelations that come in due time without making the reader feel manipulated, or tricked into a sudden convenient ending. The authors have shown how the people we are today come from the people we once were; that life is a direct result of the decisions we have made.

Even those decisions we regret.

The Wife Between Us was an enjoyable read. It had a few well plotted twists, but was not the epic psychological thriller I was hoping for. If you liked The Lying Game, I'd give it try. However, be prepared for some lags in the narrative.

3.5 Stars

The Wife Between Us was only an okay read to me, and it seems I am a minority in this. I guess I went in with high hopes, which in itself is a bad way of going into any book. I may have enjoyed it more if maybe there was a third POV.

It started off a bit slow than it picked up and as I was getting into it midway, somewhere along the line it ran out of steam for me.

It was very well written and the story-line was engaging but it just wasn’t the book for me. I cannot pinpoint where it fell short for me personally, possibly because I found myself reading just so I can finish it and start something else and when it concluded I was disappointed of how it all wrapped up. Usually a thriller would leave me with “WOW” but this left me more with, well… there goes that.

As I mentioned, unpopular opinion here so don’t let it deter you from giving it a go.

I received an advanced copy from Netgalley in return for an honest review.

My rating would be 3.5

"The Wife Between Us" is a suspenseful thriller about a husband and wife at the end of their marriage, they are divorced and he is ready to remarry but their lives are still very much entwined. The Thompson's are a wealthy couple who on the outside had it all but below the surface their marriage was wrought with deception, manipulation and violence. So, why after the divorce is finalized is the "crazy" wife stalking the new fiancee? I do not want to give away much of the plot away, since this story is loaded with twist and turns and (mostly) unexpected reveals. The beginning is a little confusing at first but will unfold as you continue reading. I saw a few of the plot points coming but a couple I did not, my favorite being the second to last. Enjoy this thriller and expect the unexpected.

If there were more stars to rate this book I'd give it a 10++. Wow...what a FANTASTIC debut novel. It will keep you riveted to the story & the characters until the last page!

Warning, spoilers ahead...

3.5 star read rounded up to 4 because it was a quick, enjoyable page turner. There were many twists, some which worked better than others. The Vanessa/Nellie twist and the way Vanessa wove herself out of Richard's web was clever. I also thought the way Vanessa fell into Richard's trap and the kind of abuser he was rang true and was much more realistic than, say, the husband in Behind Closed Doors. 

Parts didn't work quite as well for me - the Emma reveal and the therapist reveal. There were very few clues leading up to who either of these characters really were and it all just seemed extra and unnecessary. I felt the same way about Maureen 's character - not only was her explanation of Richard's childhood unnecessary - at this point the reader does not crave an excuse - but her weirdness with her brother, the rings, the ownership also came out of nowhere. 

I enjoyed the fast pace of the book and would not have minded more pages dedicated to clues about the ending, which felt a bit rushed. 

Thank you Netgalley for this copy in exchange for an honest review!

I am unsure how to give a synopsis when anything I say may contain spoilers. Is this about a jealous ex-wife who cannot abide by the idea of her husband moving on with a younger woman? Is she dangerous? What I can tell you is that there were a few points in this novel in which I said, out loud, "Wait, what?". If you enjoy exploring the secrets in a marriage, twists and turns, and people's hidden motivations, The Wife Between Us is for you.

The Wife Between Us is a sneaky story. Every time I thought I knew what was happening, everything changed. I felt off-balance the whole time I was reading. Nellie, Vanessa, and Emma swirled around and took their time revealing themselves and the truth. The Wife Between Us was an eerie and compelling read that I had a hard time putting down.

Wow!!! This is a very well written, complex story. You won't know what is what & who is who until the end. Definitely a page turner that you won't want to miss!!

A husband, a fiancee, & an ex wife. It's up to you to discover the story behind love & marriage!!
