"The Wife Between Us"

"The Wife Between Us"
By Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen
Review written by Diana Iozzia of Bookworm Banter



"The Wife Between Us" is a very puzzling book. I'll be keeping this review spoiler-free, because I realize that this book is absolutely full of different plot twists, secrets, and big reveals. I will be later creating a larger, spoiler friendly review.

To begin, "The Wife Between Us" is told in two different perspectives. We read through Vanessa's perspective, which is a cold, saddened depressing perspective, as Vanessa comes to grips that her husband, Richard, has left her for another woman. Nellie is excited and full of life, thrilled to be marrying Richard. She's vivacious and full of life, a very fun perspective to read from. As you read on through each perspective, we see how the two perspectives connect and details from each weave together, like different events and characters.

To continue, this book is a blast. There are so many gigantic plot twists and turns that you will not expect. I do admit there was a little thought I had that I thought could eventually lead to a plot twist, but I didn't think much of it. I think one of the twists could be a bit predictable, but it's not in a bad way.

Sarah and Greer worked together to create a fantastic book, with lots of brilliant prose and dialogue.

I think this book could have been a bit better if it wasn't a bit predictable. I wasn't surprised with the main antagonist and who that was. But with the antagonist being who it was, I'm glad that one of the predictable endings with similar antagonists did not occur. (I know this all seems a bit confusing, but like I mentioned, I will be writing a spoiler friendly review soon).

Hope you enjoy reading it!
