Like I said, I am still catching my breath. That is the lesson of The Wife Between Us, a lesson delivered with wit, verve, and unstoppable momentum. A parable for our times? Appearances can be deceiving, the past always comes out, and only the determined can survive. Especially when no one-not one single person-is who they seem to be. And no one is above presenting themselves in the best light-and throwing everyone else into the darkest corners.Įvents unfold and our bride-to-be discovers that even the best-laid plans can fall apart. Nellie is Richard's new fiance, a pre-school teacher. She lives with her aunt in New York City and is working at a clothing store to get by after her divorce from Richard. 1 2 3 Plot edit Vanessa is watching her ex husband's new fiance. Now the plot thickens and we the readers are caught in the delicious web, with no way out.įrom the first to the last page, the authors play with our trust issues: Whom among the cast of characters can we believe? From the "bright young thing" to the hardy old aunt, from the handsome lover to the loyal friend, everyone has a story to tell, a viewpoint to offer. The Wife Between Us is a 2018 thriller novel written by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. Will she let an unhappy ex-wife get in the way of marital bliss? Not a chance. A young woman, energetic, optimistic, and in love, plans her wedding to the man of her dreams. Proper praise for this debut collaboration runs perilously close to requiring a full-blown SPOILER alert-and I don’t want to ruin a single moment of reading rapture for anyone! I’ll settle for a promise: If you want a great read with an unexpected ending-and middle and sides-choose The Wife Between Us. This is a thriller with such great twists and turns, I am still catching my breath after reading it.
