Description



About the Book



When you read this book, you will make many assumptions. You will assume you are reading about a jealous wife and her obsession with her replacement. You will assume you are reading about a woman about to enter a new marriage with the man she loves. You will assume the first wife was a disaster and that the husband was well rid of her. You will assume you know the motives, the history, the anatomy of the relationships. Assume nothing.



Book Synopsis



The instant New York Times Bestseller!

A fiendishly smart cat-and-mouse thriller --New York Times Book Review

Buckle up, because you won't be able to put this one down. --Glamour

Jaw dropping. Unforgettable. Shocking. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

The best domestic suspense novel since Gone Girl. --In Touch Weekly

When you read this book, you will make many assumptions.
You will assume you are reading about a jealous ex-wife.
You will assume she is obsessed with her replacement - a beautiful, younger woman who is about to marry the man they both love.
You will assume you know the anatomy of this tangled love triangle.
Assume nothing.

Twisted and deliciously chilling, Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen's The Wife Between Us exposes the secret complexities of an enviable marriage - and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love.

Read between the lies.

One of my least favorite books from 2023 and I read 55 books. I’m honestly blown away by how this has 5 stars. It was at times hard to follow & just fell flat overall. So many other suspense books I would highly recommend

Not a Psychological Thriller

Good read but not a thriller. I recommend it for quick readers as I often found it difficult to put down and pick up again, having forgotten what had happened and who was who. Not a lot of suspense but definitely some surprises. A little dry at times but picks back up about 3/4 of the way through. Not on my "read again" list.

This is not like Gone Girl. This is not a “psychological thriller” however it is very much Days Of Our Lives. A lot of confusion and unexpected events. I really enjoyed reading this by the pool. The reviews on the book will have you believe it is some sort of literally masterpiece, and if you believe that, you’ll be let down. But if you go into it thinking I just need a pool/beach read, you’ll be very pleased.
