My Thoughts:
I usually play a game whenever I read a mystery. I try to see if I can predict the outcome or the next steps of the plot and usually I can guess what comes next. The Wife Between Us confused me at a lot of parts, mainly because it switches between the two main characters, Nellie (the new wife) and Vanessa the discarded wife. Vanessa warns Nellie not to marry Richard and shows exactly what she means in subtle flashbacks and sequences. I know so many wives where the divorce was a blessing and that Vanessa would try to warn Nellie about him just hit something in me.
I could not predict every twist and turn in this one! Every time I thought I had the plot figured out, the authors would yell, “TWIST!” Of course, this premise of the story is one we have read before, with the old wife trying to tell the young wife that what happened to her will happen to you. In this case, the new wife should listen. Of course, the ending isn’t exactly what I was expecting but in some ways, I got just what I asked for. This is a perfect summer read when you want something that will keep you turning the pages.
