Falling in love with a man and sharing him this is probably not something that Thursday envisaged when she thought about her future. As time went on her interest in The other wives grew till she had to investigate who these others were. Is all actually as it seems and how does this play with Thursday,s mind. This book kept my interest but for me I was a little disappointed in the ending

Due to a sudden, unexpected passing in the family a few years ago and another more recently and my subsequent (mental) health issues stemming from that, I was unable to download this book in time to review it before it was archived as I did not visit this site for several years after the bereavements. This meant I didn't read or venture onto netgalley for years as not only did it remind me of that person as they shared my passion for reading, but I also struggled to maintain interest in anything due to overwhelming depression. I was therefore unable to download this title in time and so I couldn't give a review as it wasn't successfully acquired before it was archived. The second issue that has happened with some of my other books is that I had them downloaded to one particular device and said device is now defunct, so I have no access to those books anymore, sadly.

This means I can't leave an accurate reflection of my feelings towards the book as I am unable to read it now and so I am leaving a message of explanation instead. I am now back to reading and reviewing full time as once considerable time had passed I have found that books have been helping me significantly in terms of my mindset and mental health - this was after having no interest in anything for quite a number of years after the passings. Anything requested and approved will be read and a review written and posted to Amazon (where I am a Hall of Famer & Top Reviewer), Goodreads (where I have several thousand friends and the same amount who follow my reviews) and Waterstones (or Barnes & Noble if the publisher is American based). Thank you for the opportunity and apologies for the inconvenience.

This was a good read on holiday with plenty of plot twists. I love her writing style. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review.

Sorry to the author, but I just feel confused by this! I could not keep up with the convoluted story at all - very disappointing,

W0w, what a great read! I did not see the big twist coming - so so clever!! Just when you think that you have it all sussed, in comes a huge curveball that throws everything you 'know' up in the air. I can't wait to read more from the author!

Absolutely loved this book! A real twist in it. Did not see this coming at all! I highly recommend this author. This is the first book I have read by her and I can assure you it will not be the last.

The permise of this book did sound really interesting to me which is why I originally requested it but it did become a book that lay unread for so long then when I did give it a shot it was not what I thought it was going to be so I did Dnf this one, so there for I'll just give it a middle of the road ratting because I did not finish the book

This is one of those books which is hard to review without giving too much away. There's a lot of intrigue and so many unexpected twists you'll have to keep reading just to find out what happens next. The ending really surprised me!

When you can only see your husband once a week, what's going on with the other wives?

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC without obligation.

Oh my word, this book was excellent. I read this without knowing what to expect and it absolutely blew me away. The idea of one man having multiple wives who all know about each other is fascinating, and this novel takes that story do a different level. Twists and turns abound as Thursday learns about Wednesday and lives start to collide. I would honestly say this was one of the best books I've read for a while, and I actually want to read it again just to see if I can spot the clues.

Thank you for the ARC copy of this book.
This book had me laughing, crying and lots of different emotions. It was a different kind of book to that which I normally read but I enjoyed it.

This book is the perfect thriller that keeps you guessing until the end. The twist was so good and I honestly did not see it coming!

The story follows a woman who only sees her husband on a Thursday as this is her day and the rest of his wives get other days in the week...I must admit I was intrigued straight away. Its quite hard to tell people what this book is about without giving too much away but I was certainly surprised by the ending!

Really great book that had me wanting to keep reading. The kind of book that life just gets in the way while you are reading it!

I will definitely be looking out for this author in the future.

Brilliant. Very amusing in places I laughed lots. Woman together are awesome combatants against men. The men got what they deserved.

An intriguing premise however the execution left something to be desired. I had high hopes however didn't enjoy this as much as I'd hoped to.

This book was ok but it didn’t wow me like I thought it would. It started off with such high hopes but didn’t continue all the way through like this for me.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

Thank you Netgalley, I'm so pleased I didnt pay to read this. My first read of this author and possibly the last.
Again I think it's the weak women who turned me off. Polygamy.....only for the down trodden.
The ending was abrupt and disappointing.

An interesting concept, but a very predictable ending. Not a bad read, it kept me interested but I feel it could have been more

What did I just read?

This was well written and I could understand why people have been raving about this book but it wasn't for me.

I think there was supposed to be a twist but I saw it coming a mile off which was massively disappointing.

Ooooo this was a good one, I really enjoyed it and couldn’t put it down, it was full of twists and turns, just brilliant more please!!!

This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2020, however unfortunately I just feel like this fell flat. I couldn't get on board with any of the characters and found myself forcing my way through this book.
