I likex the plot and twisted story. All was great but I was so disappointed in the end. I am still not sure!!

Like Girl on The Train and similar books? Then this is a book for you! I can definitely see this being made into a film. Page turning and at one point I literally gasped out loud. That's how you know a book is good!
I think this is one of those books you need to go into blindly because spoilers good ruin it.

Oh my goodness!!! This book was absolutely fantastic. Now this is a psychological suspense read. Way better than "Girl on the Train" or Gone Girl. The author was very clever. Kept you turning page after page, and what I really liked was the capability of tying up loose ends. The ending was not rushed, and I highly recommend this book if you enjoy suspense. I received an advanced readers copy for my honest opinion.

This book had so many great twists and turns. I didn't see the end of Part I coming at all. I look forward to more by this author.

Thank you to NetGalley for sending me this book. I was skeptical at first because it seemed like a typical jealous wife/stalker book. But a few chapters in everything changed. I was unable to put it down because of all of the twists that kept coming. This is definitely a must read if you like unexpected. Nothing is as it seems to be...

Grabbed me from page one. Loved the characters in this book and gave me a reason to pull for the main character. Although I guessed some of the plot twists I was still highly entertained. Great job with this twisty thrill ride!

The wife between us has a really good premise. However, there is need of much proofreading, because there is much confusion between Emma and Vanessa. I think the descriptions are mixed up at times. I really liked the story.

This was an amazingly deceptive book. Its like looking at something magnified by 1000 and slowly backing up. Vanessa is a woman struggling with a separation from her husband. Or is she? Nellie is a sweet, innocent woman falling in love. What do they have in common? You’ll be surprised when you find out. One of the best novels I’ve read . And I’ve read many.

I'd say this was more of a domestic mystery rather than a thriller. The story had me guessing all the way through. The epilogue was interesting but I didn't think was important to the story, the book would have been complete without it. It was just a little twist at the end that didn't change the story one way or the other.

The Wife Between us is one of those books in which, about a quarter of the way through, you’ll be absolutely certain you know exactly what’s going on, who’s who, and how it’s all going to end.
And then you don’t.
It’s not full of those in your face twists. These twists are more subtle – simply a shifting of perspective that makes you realize that you simply have no idea what’s really happening.
I had to keep reading. I simply had to finally understand what was going on. There were all these devious layers of deception that completely that completely shocked me.
An excellent thriller!

This is a fast paced book that has you guessing until the very end. Just when you think you know what is going on, it takes another twist. A great read that stays with you. Praise for both authors!

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I am a big fan of Sarah Pekkanen's work and have read at least seven of her books, so it was interesting to see her pair up with another author and change her genre a bit.
I found that the book had a bit of a slow start, and I was a bit confused at one point. But, once I got past that, the story of the woman with the perfect life that falls apart kept me intrigued. The blurb was very good about not giving anything away, and I don't want to either. What I can say is that every time I thought I knew what was going on, I found out that I was wrong.
I am not sure that I would call this book a thriller, but it certainly had psychological twists throughout. Overall, I enjoyed this book and would certainly recommend it!

THE WIFE BETWEEN US was positively addictive, and one of the few novels of suspense in recent years that has actually lived up to comparisons to GONE GIRL, BIG LITTLE LIES, and then LUCKIEST GIRL ALIVE and ALL THE MISSING GIRLS. As a veteran editor of thrillers (including those last two), I would have absolutely tried to snap it up for myself if I was still working in publishing! I definitely didn't see the multiple twists coming and I felt like this book was perfectly paced with just the right amount of tease and reveal to keep me turning pages even when I really should have been doing other things (like sleeping). If you love domestic suspense, and voicey, plot-driven fiction you'll gobble this up.

This is one psychological thriller that proves that you don't know what you think you know, so keep reading and be prepared to change your mind about every characters - except Sam and Aunt Charlotte.
A jilted wife is stalking her ex-husband's soon to be wife. Why? How many ex-wives are there and what's the deal with Richard and his older sister Martha?
Keep reading and be prepared to re-evaluate every detail you've made a judgement about.

I'm obsessed with domestic thrillers - let's be real, everyone wants to pick up a guilty pleasure book once in awhile and devour it in 48 hours or less. The Wife Between Us was no exception - I finished it in 24 hours and couldn't put it down. Every time I thought I had the plot figured out, there was a new twist - all the way up to the Epilogue! Sure, it was a bit unbelievable/stretched the limits of credulity at times, but I easily suspended disbelief and went for the rollercoaster ride. Definitely recommended for lovers of domestic suspense!
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an advance copy for review.

Imagine the tallest, fastest, curviest and scariest roller coaster ride you've ever been on. As the coaster slowly climbs to the top of the highest peak you hold on tight thinking you're prepared for the wild decent that is surely to come, when suddenly the ride reverses course and speeds back in the direction you started from. That's what reading The Wife Between Us is like. You may think you've got the story figured out and know the direction it's heading when the plot takes a turn you never saw coming. The use of alternating narrators is a fairly common tactic, but The Wife Between Us wins the prize for the cleverest "she said/she said" in history (along with its tantalizingly twisty title). You will re-read the first third of the book trying to figure out how you missed it. The plot drags in a little in the middle-it would be almost impossible not to after the shock it delivers-but then ends with several even bigger surprises. The Wife Betweens Us puts the "psyche" in "psychological thriller" in a way that few can top and should be one of the most buzzed about books of 2018.

As previous reviewers have stated, this book has several twists, most of which you don't see coming, but keeps the pages turning. What begins as an almost too-good-to-be-true relationship being described is...well, too good to be true. But discovering how the main character weaves her web in order to save herself, and then someone else, is quite the twisty ride!

Wow this book was a page turner especially once you get to part 2! Highly recommend!

I was immediately intrigued!! A fast paced read that will keep you guessing as to what's going on. Just when you think you might have it all figured out...you'lol find out you have truly been in the dark! Definitely a book for fans of psychological thrillers such as Girl On the Train, Gone Girl, Behind Closed Doors, etc...
