So many twists and turns....kept me going until the very end!

I'm sorry but I didn't like it. I found myself reaching for other books, which for a "suspense" is never a good sign. Overall, I was just bored. The writing felt long and repetitious, with endless descriptions of things that didn't need such a long description and after some time felt like a checklist (example: when Nellie sees the new house for the first time).
There were no time breaks, helping to distinguish a jump in time, which made reading confusing. A lot of the time I had to stop, go back, reread because I thought I had skipped something.
By the end, the straw that broke the poor camels back was that I didn't care for the characters. The "heroine" was whiney and pathetic, the husband was a schmuck and overall the story was so far-fetched and convoluted that I just wanted it to end.

If you love a good twisty plot then this is the book for you! The Wife Between Us is hands down bringing on the OMG moments.

Greer and Sarah have truly delivered a novel that will keep you guessing cover to cover. Every time you think you've got it all figured out - they throw you for a huge twist. Every. Time.

With some of the most gritty and real characters I've had the pleasure of getting to know in a long time - The Wife Between Us is one of those novels that feels completely real - you just hope it doesn't happen to you!

Bottom line: Fab characters, Fab story line, Fab writing style!

This suspense/thriller was a fast read with some twists and turns that kept the book interesting. The story alternates from the first person point of view of Vanessa, the ex-wife, and third person through Nellie. Vanessa appears broken, jaded, and a bit desperate to stop the impending marriage between her ex-husband and his new wife. Nellie, on the other hand, is young, full of vitality and seems to have finally found her Prince Charming.

Don't read any spoilers and don't read other reviews about this book. Go into it blind and you will enjoy it more.

I really enjoyed the creative plot and the way the story was told through different points of view. Some of the plot was a bit of a stretch for the imagination, but not enough to dismiss the story altogether as ridiculous.

This book will be published January 9, 2018. I received an electronic ARC thanks from Net Galley for my honest review.

Nellie used to be married to successful hedge fund manager Richard. After seven years, Richard begins an affair with a coworker. Nellie seems devastated, and oddly obsessed with 'the other woman'. And so begins the wild ride of The Wife Between Us!

I really enjoyed this book. It’s cleverly written, but I do think the publisher’s blurb detracts from the book, it’s best to go in knowing nothing about the story. The book grabs you right away and I found myself unable to stop reading long after I should have gone to bed. It’s full of twists and turns and they do not feel forced, looking back everything works, like I said very cleverly written.

The authors nail the ending; it”s both satisfying and fitting after the twisty ride of a plot and totally believable characters. You won’t want to miss this one.

The title of this book would lead you to believe that you'll be reading about a woman who is obsessed with her ex husband and the new woman who has become her replacement. You would only be partially right. As the synopsis says, ' assume nothing'! You'll think you have things figured out and then there will be a twist that changes everything you thought you knew. This is a very well crafted story which will keep you engaged until the very last page.

You might think this is about a young woman who is engaged to the “perfect” man. You might think it is about a vengeful ex-wife. You might think it’s about a wonderful, caring man that is recovering from a miserable marriage. This book is actually about that and more. This book will keep you guessing until the very end. It’s engaging and twisted. The characters are very well developed. It will definitely keep you up all night trying to figure out what you think you know opposed to what’s really going on. I highly recommend this book!!!

Wow! I love how this kept me guessing throughout the whole book! A woman trying to tear apart her ex and his fiancé. Is she obsessed and in denial??? Or is she filled with true warnings for the new bride? Just enough details were given along the way to keep this a fast- paced novel! Even the epilogue had me saying, "I didn't see that one coming!" Enjoyed it very much and would recommend to anyone who enjoys a fast - paced, twisty suspense novel!!

Wow! I have long been a fan of Sarah Pekkanen but this collaboration with Greer Hendricks is really exceptional. Major plot twists, turns, & surprises make the book impossible to put down. Machinations, manipulations, & a seemingly unstable & unreliable but sympathetic narrator heighten the suspense. I never saw two major plot twists coming, both of which left me reeling & wondering how I missed them. I hope these 2 authors team up again & the result is as spectacular as The Wife Between Us!

Wow. What a crazy, sad, thrill ride of a book! From the book description, it sounded like the typical jilted ex-wife jealous of the new and younger girlfriend. But once you start reading, it becomes an entirely different concept and much separate from the typical ex-wife of a cheating husband storyline.

At first I was led to believe that the story was from two separate perspectives - the ex-wife and the new fiancee. But as the story progresses it becomes something entirely different. I was a bit confused at first because it seemed like I was reading two different viewpoints and the author was incredibly ingenious to lead the reader to think that way. As the story of the main heroine, Vanessa or Nellie, unfolds, there are incidents where you wonder if it was all in her head or if there was something wrong with her. Once again, the author cleverly wrote it to lead the reader to think that way. But then, as the layers begin to peel away, those incidents in the book becomes clearer and you realize that the main character wasn't crazy or messed up after all.

In the Wife Between Us, love was so twisted and so abused. I don't think one single person in the story even knew what true love was, except for the relationship between Nellie and her aunt - their love was real and honest and I think that was what kept Nellie sane throughout all the craziness of her life as a wife and then trying to piece together all the missing parts of her marriage.

I won't give any spoilers in my review, but I thought the book was very well-written. At some points there were bits of confusion, but then as the book delves further into the story, the mangled parts became clearer and then I was at the "ah-ha!" moment when everything was explained at the end.

Although the ending was satisfactory, there was still the character of the husband's sister - what was her motive? Was she just as unbalanced as her brother was?

There are many elements of abuse in this book - emotional and physical. I could really feel Nellie's painful descriptions and the pitfalls of her wondering if she was going crazy. The author pinpointed how abuse can usually be. Sometimes one doesn't truly see it until a turning point in their lives and then they feel the fear of someone else being abused just the same. There wasn't anything too graphic to read about the physical abuse but for those who have suffered through some type of abuse in their past, certain parts could be quite painful.

I would definitely recommend this book to someone who loves a good detailed and twisted thriller. Prepare to keep reading until you stop to the very end because the writing is so engaging and deceptive that you'll want to know just what is going on.

4.5 stars

It is nearly impossible to write a review for this book without giving away some sort of spoiler, so my best advice is to jump into it blind. The twists are so jaw dropping, you will find yourself re-reading what you just read to make sure you read it right! I anticipate this book to be one of the most talked about of 2018!

This was a compelling read, with a ton of well-executed novelistic trickery. After finishing, I had to mull over the story for a good long while before I could set down my thoughts. Time and again, my assumptions were shattered as events played out. The suspense built, and built, and built, with quite a satisfying resolution. But I don't want to mislead other readers -- it's not all literary sleight-of-hand and clever plotting: The characters are so vivid and well-drawn that I will be thinking for a long time about Richard and Nellie and Vanessa and Emma and Kate and their roles in each other's lives. I've told many friends to watch for this book when it is published next year -- and I'm sure they'll hear the buzz from many sources. (I received an advance reader's copy from NetGalley).

Wow!!! What a crazy ride!! Nellie and Richard are getting married and it seems perfect, except for the calls where no one speaks and his crazy ex-wife. Vanessa feels like she is going crazy, her ex is remarrying the perfect woman and she can't stand it.. But things are not what they seem and with each turn of the page there is a new revelation that will have you wondering how you missed the clues.

this was one great book. Thank you, Net Galley, for picking me to read and review it.
It started out slow, first 30 pages but after that I read it one sitting. The best part is I did not know what was going to happen. I usually know what is going on but the twist and turns in this book were phenomenal. When I thought I knew what was going on - there would be a twist. But in the end, everything fit together.
Surprising me were the women, -the layers and layers. I do not want to say much more because it will ruin it.
I would highly recommend this book. This review is sparse in details because this book is best read without knowing the details or outcome.

A pretty average book. Not a lot of suspense or mystery. I kept waiting but the 'surprises' never occurred.

This book is exactly what I look for in a thriller! It definitely kept me guessing until the very end. I would highly recommend this book and will do exactly that. I would definitely read more by these authors.

This is an incredible read! I literally could not put it down. It hooks you from the very first paragraph and never lets go. The writing is smart, modern, highly believable and each character is brilliantly portrayed. There are several twists and turns that you never see coming! It constantly keeps you guessing. This book is highly original and just when you think you've figured out what is happening, things change. You never see it coming. It is impossible to discuss the plot without giving away too much but this is one brilliant book that deserves to be atop best seller lists across the world. I can already see it shortlisted for awards and the eventual starring role that major actress will fight to perform. It is a wonderful book and the author deserves all the success that I am sure will be forthcoming.

The twists and turns are amazing, quite literally right up to the Epilogue. I honestly never saw it coming. I was actually sorry to see the book end because I wanted to know how did each of the main characters evolve and did they find peace and happiness. The ending was perfect as was each and every sentence. This is a very good, enjoyable read!

A lot of the books that I read and review are fun, entertaining, instructive, and insightful. Others are dull, boring or just books that you can't wait to end. When I started this book I found almost immediately that I loved the writing style, felt comfortable with the pace of the book and found myself really drawn in to the lives of these very compelling, interesting individuals. The characters are both very real and totally unforgettable. Every single word is perfectly chosen. This is a magnificent piece of writing and I feel so lucky to have been allowed to preview this awesome accomplishment! This is a beautifully crafted book!

4.5
Twisty, turny, & terrific!
I loved this book! I was soo excited for this one and I was definitely pleased. I was shocked with the FIRST (yes- there's more) twist. I didn't even think the possibility! I want to say more but you should go in as blind as possible for The Wife Between us! I would go in a Many thanks Netgalley!

I don't often get surprised by the twists and turns of a thriller. This one was the exception. Great plot, well told tale. While I felt confused through much of the book, the pieces finally fell in place at the 96% mark. Stay until the end on this one. You will not be disappointed.
