The Wife Between Us

 5/14/23

To tell you the truth, I thought I wrote this post yesterday but I guess I didn't. I started listening to the audiobook of this book yesterday and not much has happened. The two different perspectives are of the ex-wife and the new wife. So I'm interested in what will happen with this book. I know that the last book I read by these authors the suspense builds up. The more that it builds up the more interesting the book gets. So I am expecting the same thing with this book. The only thing I don't like is the slow burn but it will pay off in the end. Hopefully.

This book confused me for a little bit but after thinking it over and reading it more it started to make sense. If you aren't paying attention like I was, you will end up confused. The first part of this book is actually between two different timelines. Completely different than what I thought my first impression of the book. The second part pretty much explains the married life our main character with her husband. You also get a little bit of her background on why she is the way she is. I just hit part three and I'm curious what this will focus around. The book isn't as suspenseful as I was hoping but it is an interesting book. Maybe things will change once I finish the book. So far I am not impressed by the book. It's a little dull and gets confusing if you aren't paying attention. I think if I had to rate this book this instant, it would probably be about three stars out of five. It's good, just not what I expected.

I finished this book right before I went to bed so I couldn't update it until now. Anyways the ending was a little exciting but it still wasn't what I expected. Not a whole lot of excitement or suspense. The book has three parts. The first part is between two different timelines to get the backstory. Which confused me a little when part two started. Part two is just the main character trying to convince the new bride-to-be to not marry her ex-husband all the while looking over her shoulder. Also she learns the truth about her ex more as he still "punishes" her for going against he "perfect" image. Also it shows how the marriage really went and how he twisted it all around to make him look like the victim and her the crazy one. Part three is freeing the bride-to-be from ever getting hurt. Which the main character sacrifices herself in order to bring out the truth. The ending still left some unanswered questions and one of them has to do with the sister of the ex-husband. You are left with this thought that she may love him more than a brother but it is never confirmed. You just get that feeling. You also learn even more about the ex-husband's past and his behavior is a learned one. I can't say much about the book really. That just pretty much summarized it. The book still gets three stars from me. I'm sure I would have enjoyed it more if I was still in my suspense phase. Now I'm just reading the leftover books I have before I try to figure out what phase I am in now. The struggles of being a bookworm.
