This book has it all; love, loss and betrayal. Families at their worst! Well written and in a really engaging style that made me want to keep reading.

Thank you Net Galley and Agora Books for an early copy of Nobody's Wife.  I loved it, really loved it.  The ending pages disappointed me a bit but all in all a Fabulous Book.  I felt the characters and their emotions.  A Great read!!

I was given an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest and independent review. 
It’s hard to review this book without giving away any spoilers in my opinion. But all I can say is that I loved the book. It is written in a very easy way, which makes it gripping and for a compulsive read. The characters are interesting and well scripted. 
Love, betrayal, family and deceit. 
On the one hand, I couldn’t wait to get to the end to see what happened and on the other, I didn’t want it to finish. 
An emotional read. 4.5 stars

This is a fantastic novel from Laura Pearson the story revolves around four people a married couple her sister and boyfriend Emily and Jack   fall for each other as soon as soon as they set eyes on one another and as they embark on a dangerous afair things get  really messy and as relationships fall apart  it ends in tragedy it tares a family apart and leaves everyone broken a fabulous read

Nobody’s Wife is a forensic analysis of the emotion and motivation that drive Emily to betray her husband and her sister. The four main protagonists are brought vividly to life, and inspire anger, empathy, and sympathy to varying degrees. The writing is beautiful and literary, without ever becoming too verbose. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher.  Have to admit I really did not like, understand and completely lost interest in this book.  Sorry.

Sisters. Marriage. Double betrayal.  

Is love enough, even if it destroys lives of others? How far would you go for love and your own happiness if you knew that it would cause grief and devastation in its path? 
Sometimes it takes just one person in the equation to make everything fall apart. The foundation that the house was build on starts cracking little by little, and piece by piece it falls away causing destruction.  Just one wrong person can end it all. 

This was a quick, but not an easy read. A slow moving family drama with a little bit of scandal. The descriptions of relationship dynamics between all characters were raw and heart wrenching but for some reason I had hard time liking any of the people involved.  Sad, frustrated, repulsed, disappointed, angry: feelings that run through me when reading this book.

Thank you NetGalley, Agora Books, and the author, Laura Pearson, for allowing me to read an ARC of this novel in exchange for my honest opinion.

Ugh. This was a little like watching Days of Our Lives during the summer when I was a kid. It sounds like a good idea but it's just...basic plotlines that anyone can see from miles away. 

Emily and Josephine are sisters and best friends. Emily gets married and the sisters grow apart. Josephine meets Jack. She is excited to introduce him to her sister, however Jack and Emily hit is off....and more. 

I can see where this could have been good. But...it felt flat to me. Maybe I need more drama in my family dramas. This was just about selfish jerks. 

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Wow what a sticky sticky story! Emily and Josephine are sisters, Emily is married to Michael and Josephine is dating Jack everyone is happy...….well until two of them did the most unforgivable thing that rocks everyone's life to the core. 
Wow what a book! I seriously wanted to punch a few people. This story was heartbreaking. And the "bad" people who caused all the betrayal you will HATE. Lol I can sometimes feel for the jerks but NOPE these two were total selfish tool bags.  Laura Pearson did an amazing job with this storyline and these characters. I love a book that fills me with such passion, even when it is passion of hate! 
I look forward to reading more from Laura!

This book didn't disappoint.  I found it an extremely well written book which leaves you with conflicting emotions in relation to the characters, events that take place and choices made. I especially loved how the narrative depicts what each person is thinking in relation to how they behave and that inner turmoil that can occasionally rear it's head in difficult situations (something I definitely experience from time to time and so made the characters feel real for me).

I was eager to find out how things unfolded and, once I got to a certain point, definitely was hooked to the end.

Absolutely loved this book!! It had it all, loss, love betrayal.
I could not put it down & devoured it in a day

I enjoyed the story to a point. The closeness of the sisters, the happy life that they had... for a while. 
I was very disappointed in the actions of Emily to the point that it was annoying me that she would do what she did and betray her sister & husband in such a way having only just married him & appearing to be very happy. 
I was also disappointed in the ending, it really didn't have to end like that for Michael. 
One other little gripe was that the author referred to the other sister with her full name all throughout the story, but everyone called her Jo, throughout the whole book! 
That said, it was a good read that I wanted to finish, just a bit disappointed in the weakness of the characters. 
Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.

Laura "... wrote of unhappy relationships, warring families torn apart by abuse and neglect, damaged protagonists making their way, unsuccessfully, in an impossible world."
Wow, Laura Pearson made me feel so uncomfortable the entire read. The writing style was burning, it was all-consuming, I couldn't put it down, but it also made me cringe and I sometimes winced turning the page.
I don't even know if I liked any of the characters, due to them having some many unlikeable characters. I did feel empathy for Josephine, but I got so bothered with her relationship with her sister Emily, pre and post affair.
I was distressed whenever Jack came into the storyline. When he associated himself with Michael, it was excruciating to know what was happening behind is back.

I guess this is how Laura wanted the reader to feel! So well done for making me still linger on this book days after putting it down on my shelf. 
I rate this book at 3.5 stars.

I am still not entirely sure if I would recommend this book, as I don't want to be responsible for making anyone else feel they way I did whilst reading!

I loved this book. Laura Pearson has managed to create characters who you still sympathise with despite the fact their actions may be ones that you disapprove of - which is a real skill. By the end of the book I felt I knew Emily, Josephine, Michael and Jack as well as if they were real people - with all their faults. This is an emotional read - but one that I thoroughly enjoyed and I think one of Pearson's strongest skills is to capture the thoughts and feelings a character has during those tiny moments that alter the course of fate with such stunning prose it sometimes takes your breath away. Would highly recommend.

Emily and Josephine are sisters who live together and are best friends. When Emily marries Michael, an author who is head over heels in love with her Josephine wonders if Emily will still have time for her.

Josephine meets Jack and when she introduces him to Emily and she feels an instant connection and a spark. Jack and Emily start a passionate and forbidden affair which is exciting although wrong. 

Their unsuspecting partners find out quite randomly and there's no going back from what unfolds...and that twist! An absolutely superb read which I loved and am still thinking of now.

This book examines the relationship between sisters, love, and marriage. The authors writing style is so captivating, I felt like I was there with each of the four main characters. I thought she did a great job of taking a realistic problem and diving into it in a way that kept me hooked and wanting more. This is especially difficult when you feel like you shouldn't be able to connect with certain characters due to their poor decisions. It was such a quick read, due to the addictive nature of the story telling and the developed relationships presented. I can't wait to see what else the author produces in the future.

Wow a completely jaw dropping wild ride of a read. I picked it up thought I would read a few pages and found myself unable to put it down.So chilling so twisty a story that will stay on your mind long after you close the final page, # netgalley #agorabooks

I couldn’t see what the big attraction Emily had to Jack. It wasn’t there in the writing. I just couldn’t see what made her leave her husband so easily. It was a readable story but then it just stopped so no closure.

This reminds me more of those wife swapping stories and lord knows been there and done that without my permission obviously but nevertheless this is the new norm.
It's ironic that we started with 4 people and only 3 remain but the funny thing is the death was not the result of what was occurring between the couples.
So there's that but there's also this power struggle playing out between the couples in fact between these two sisters who are both married but apparently the grass is greener over yonder.
Or is it?!
Well, my ex malignant narc ran off with the other married woman so there's a deep rooted connection and I'm not sure you can explain it words the pain but I'll try here for this review.
Nobody's wife was a beautiful portrayal of seeking more while not being content with what you presently have in your life.
It was the story of Jack who wanted to meet Emily at a cafe to discuss some things and it took off from there.
Jack is married to Josephine and Emily was married to Michael.
The story had plenty of twists and turns with excitement reaching peaks and valleys throughout the whole process.
The issue with Emily and how it played out with regards to her and Michael always wanting a child was quite interesting.
Needless to say the ending was a little bland for my taste but it was still the writing that captured me and the way it all played out.
Thank you to Laura, the publisher, Netgalley, and Aldiko for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.

Nobody's wife is very well written, I was hooked after reading the prologue! 
The book follows two sisters and their partners who are intertwined in their relationships, it never feels like separate story's it all flows together.

Great book from start to finish although I feel like the ending was a little rushed, and could have been expanded on more. 
Laura's writing style is definitely one I enjoyed, and will be looking out for in the future.
