I'd say this was more of a domestic mystery rather than a thriller. The story had me guessing all the way through. The epilogue was interesting but I didn't think was important to the story, the book would have been complete without it. It was just a little twist at the end that didn't change the story one way or the other.

The Wife Between us is one of those books in which, about a quarter of the way through, you’ll be absolutely certain you know exactly what’s going on, who’s who, and how it’s all going to end.

And then you don’t.

It’s not full of those in your face twists. These twists are more subtle – simply a shifting of perspective that makes you realize that you simply have no idea what’s really happening.

I had to keep reading. I simply had to finally understand what was going on. There were all these devious layers of deception that completely that completely shocked me.

An excellent thriller!

This is a fast paced book that has you guessing until the very end. Just when you think you know what is going on, it takes another twist. A great read that stays with you. Praise for both authors!

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I am a big fan of Sarah Pekkanen's work and have read at least seven of her books, so it was interesting to see her pair up with another author and change her genre a bit.

I found that the book had a bit of a slow start, and I was a bit confused at one point. But, once I got past that, the story of the woman with the perfect life that falls apart kept me intrigued. The blurb was very good about not giving anything away, and I don't want to either. What I can say is that every time I thought I knew what was going on, I found out that I was wrong.

I am not sure that I would call this book a thriller, but it certainly had psychological twists throughout. Overall, I enjoyed this book and would certainly recommend it!

Ok, I'd like to go 4.5 for this one. I really liked it a lot. I was reminded of a few other books while reading it, The Breakdown chief among them. Not that it bothered me in the slightest. There's one point at about 41% through when a twist happened that literally made my brain incapable of thinking. I had to rewind the text to speech app at least five times to try to get it kick started again.

Seriously, if you like twisted psychological thrillers, put this one on your TBR list. Although, I do think the epilogue was too much and completely unnecessary. Which is a big reason for the desire to give it 4.5 instead of a full 5. It made me groan and wish it didn't exist.

A big thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the copy. There'll be a review posted on C-Spot Reviews once the book is released.

THE WIFE BETWEEN US was positively addictive, and one of the few novels of suspense in recent years that has actually lived up to comparisons to GONE GIRL, BIG LITTLE LIES, and then LUCKIEST GIRL ALIVE and ALL THE MISSING GIRLS. As a veteran editor of thrillers (including those last two), I would have absolutely tried to snap it up for myself if I was still working in publishing! I definitely didn't see the multiple twists coming and I felt like this book was perfectly paced with just the right amount of tease and reveal to keep me turning pages even when I really should have been doing other things (like sleeping). If you love domestic suspense, and voicey, plot-driven fiction you'll gobble this up.

This is one psychological thriller that proves that you don't know what you think you know, so keep reading and be prepared to change your mind about every characters - except Sam and Aunt Charlotte.

A jilted wife is stalking her ex-husband's soon to be wife. Why? How many ex-wives are there and what's the deal with Richard and his older sister Martha?

Keep reading and be prepared to re-evaluate every detail you've made a judgement about.

I'm obsessed with domestic thrillers - let's be real, everyone wants to pick up a guilty pleasure book once in awhile and devour it in 48 hours or less. The Wife Between Us was no exception - I finished it in 24 hours and couldn't put it down. Every time I thought I had the plot figured out, there was a new twist - all the way up to the Epilogue! Sure, it was a bit unbelievable/stretched the limits of credulity at times, but I easily suspended disbelief and went for the rollercoaster ride. Definitely recommended for lovers of domestic suspense!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an advance copy for review.

Imagine the tallest, fastest, curviest and scariest roller coaster ride you've ever been on. As the coaster slowly climbs to the top of the highest peak you hold on tight thinking you're prepared for the wild decent that is surely to come, when suddenly the ride reverses course and speeds back in the direction you started from. That's what reading The Wife Between Us is like. You may think you've got the story figured out and know the direction it's heading when the plot takes a turn you never saw coming. The use of alternating narrators is a fairly common tactic, but The Wife Between Us wins the prize for the cleverest "she said/she said" in history (along with its tantalizingly twisty title). You will re-read the first third of the book trying to figure out how you missed it. The plot drags in a little in the middle-it would be almost impossible not to after the shock it delivers-but then ends with several even bigger surprises. The Wife Betweens Us puts the "psyche" in "psychological thriller" in a way that few can top and should be one of the most buzzed about books of 2018.

As previous reviewers have stated, this book has several twists, most of which you don't see coming, but keeps the pages turning. What begins as an almost too-good-to-be-true relationship being described is...well, too good to be true. But discovering how the main character weaves her web in order to save herself, and then someone else, is quite the twisty ride!

Wow this book was a page turner especially once you get to part 2! Highly recommend!

I was immediately intrigued!! A fast paced read that will keep you guessing as to what's going on. Just when you think you might have it all figured out...you'lol find out you have truly been in the dark! Definitely a book for fans of psychological thrillers such as Girl On the Train, Gone Girl, Behind Closed Doors, etc...

The Wife Between Us is a great thriller with a great twist. The synopsis alone was enough to make me want to read this.

The Wife Between Us is an interesting thriller that shifts back and forth for a portion of the book. The story is mainly told from two women's points of views although, I don't want to say much more because I don't want to spoil anything. This was such a fantastic book and it's really hard to give any sort of summary because there are so many great points in the book and even a little could spoil the surprise. If you enjoy a thriller that is different and a bit fresh compared to some of the other's out there this is for you. It felt different in a good way and I almost read the whole book in one sitting. Yes, it's that easy to get sucked in.

This book will be popular!

*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The story is not what you would expect. There are all kinds of twists and turns, and just when you think you know where the story is going, you don't. I can't really say all the much about the story itself without giving any kind of plot spoilers.

For fans of I Let You Go and Emma in the Night, The Wife Between Us is twisty and bendy in all the right ways! This novel will have you hooked from the very first page. I won't ruin it for you, but be prepared for a late night to finish this one... you will not want to put it down until you've come to the full and satisfying ending.

One aside, I found the Epilogue to be too much. Had the authors stopped at the final chapter, I would have been deeply satisfied, lacking nothing. The epilogue, to me was a little far-fetched and contrived. I'm still giving 5 stars, because I thoroughly enjoyed the book!

4 stars- I absolutley devoured this book over the course of one afternoon/evening. It was one of those rare "unputdownable" titles, and I was thrilled that I was able to get my hands on a copy. This novel includes elements of mystery, suspense, and even a little bit of romance. The narrative follows a 30 something divorcee living in NYC who's high powered husband has traded her in for a younger, newer model- or so it appears. The story recounts different periods of time; including before the marriage, during and the abrupt disillusionment. The former wife tracks her ex's new 27 year old bride to be, but is jealousy truly her motive? This is far more complex than your run of the mill "Gone Girl" hyped titles. A perfect cozy ready.

If you are looking for an edge of your seat story, this is the book for you. The authors fluid writing keeps you wanting more as you read this unpredictable story revolving around a marriage and the subsequent fall out. Just when you think you have it figured out, another twist happens that keeps you wanting more. If you liked Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train, you will love The Wife Between Us!

Whoa. Just Whoa. This book had me thinking I was half crazy when I got to the second part. It's so well written. I sympathized with the characters, even the ones I shouldn't. And it isn't very often that I read a book and don't see at least some of what's ahead coming. Not with this one. I didn't see any of it. Not one, single thing. There were several times I dropped my e-reader and was like "What?!". These authors did such an amazing job of crafting this story. Nothing was without purpose. I fell in love with Richard right along with Nellie, even though I wasn't supposed to. The book is pure and simple genius. It touches on a sensitive subject and handled it perfectly. Well done!

I really enjoyed this book. So many twists and turns that kept me guessing the whole time. The story flowed easily; even with the characters being intertwined so much.
I would definitely recommend this book to others.
