Full of twists and turns, this book kept me entertained from beginning to end.
Only fault is surprise ending was a bit confusing and seemed contrived.
This book kept me guessing! Some interesting and unexpected twists.
A great book. It didn’t have quiet as many twists and turns as I expected, still I enjoyed it. I had just finished a similar book and this one probably would have been better if I had read a few in between. Still the writers are very talented and I would read another book by them.
Loved it. Was hooked from the start and couldn’t stop. The epilogue was necessary and not credible for me though, but that doesn’t change the fact that I loved the entire story! I thought the characters were well developed, especially Richard. Man, that dude makes you cringe.
Whilst I’ve enjoyed the storyline of this book, it became slightly confusing in parts & occasionally mundane in the repetition of events. It has such great reviews & I truly expected it to make an impact, but I came away feeling that something had been missed & wonder whether the fact that the novel was co-authored spoiled it slightly.
The Wife Between Us was a good read by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. This book teaches you that you can’t make assumptions and not to trust everything you see. This book of secret complexities will keep you guessing the whole time. I really enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to read more by the authors.
This book was hard to put down. It has so many twists and turns. At first I thought I knew what was going on, then I realized I was totally wrong. After a while, I decided not to try to figure it out, but just let the story take me wherever it went. I was not disappointed! Highly recommended!
Wow that’s crazy. I loved this one.
Great reads
Great Book!
Received this book, free of charge from the publisher, in exchange for a review.
I really Enjoyed the story content and how it flowed. Loved the twists. Good ending.
Other books and movies have made subtle mind games and psychological abuse so much more suspenseful and nerve wracking. When this book wasn’t boring, it was confusing. The timeline was hard to follow and frequently didn’t compute. I really felt nothing for these characters. As I got near the end I just gave up and stopped working so hard to make sense of all the details, I just went with it. My brain was starting to hurt. I felt really manipulated by the way this story was written.
Great book. There did come a point that I was totally confused but all I had to do was think about what was happening and I was back on track. Really kept me entertained and the last bit of it had me exclaim “NO WAY”!!
This book was very unpredictable and original and interesting to read. The names were so confusing though. I wish it had just told you at the beginning that Nelly and Vanessa were the same person because it would have made it much easier to follow the story and I don’t think that would have taken anything away from the suspense.
One of the best books I’ve ever read. I couldn’t put it down, the ending was such a suprise!! I tell everyone about this book! It’s a must read that will leave you shook!!
I enjoyed the book. However, I thought that it was a little predictable.
Good
I picked up The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen a number of months before I actually read it. (Yes, I admit it, I get nervous if my To Be Read List gets too small.)
Which in retrospect was a smart idea, because I had completely forgotten about the description by the time I started the book.
As it was, I figured out the twist pretty quickly. (And, to be the fair, the big reveal happened in the middle of the book, which was interesting.)

The manipulative main character was unlikeable but the ending made the all the trials worthwhile.
