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.
Wise is the movie producer who buys the rights to this one pre-publication!

A very well done novel dealing with the interactions between a husband and his wife and the woman that he is leaving the wife to marry. A book that will grab you and have you reading without being able to put it down. It will bring you into the thoughts and actions of both woman wondering who is doing what to whom and what is happening with the husband.
Vanessa meets Richard; a charming, handsome and financially well off man. She falls for him and he falls for her with the result being marriage with Vanessa's expectations being a wonderful life with the man of her dreams. Richard has a sister who Vanessa meets just before the ceremony offering to help pick out the wedding dress and help with the menu for the meal as an extra added attraction The happy couple move up to Westchester an upscale community above New York City after the wedding where Vanessa takes on the life of a full time wife with no need to help out with a second income. Her husband insists that she find something to do via volunteering and also to exercise and strictly maintain her weight which she does not object to.
Richard, who is a Hedge Fund manager, soon hires a new Assistant named Emma to work for him in his office. It immediately becomes apparent that Emma also assists during the evening. The gist of the story is about the interaction between the two women and Richard and who does what to whom. The reader will change their opinion several times about what is really going on during the course of reading the book. Thought processes of both women are utilized by the authors to move the novel forward with the action based on what they are thinking and doing at the time.
A mesmerizing story guaranteed to keep the reader glued to the book and not at all being able to postulate the ending. That finale is based on facts brought out and logical after the fact. Both authors are experienced writers and their combined input makes this a work that is guaranteed to make any reader avidly wanting the next book.

Strong points: Interesting read. A couple of surprises to keep the plot moving forward. I thought the writing was smooth and easy to follow. Weak points: I thought the entire book was a bit too long, especially the first 30%. The final twist involving Emma was interesting, but I'm not convinced it was needed for the story.

*I received this book from NetGally in exchange for an honest review.

Overall this book had some great twists and turns that I did not see coming! I was pleasantly surprised at the way the book was set up with the characters and the way I was drawn into their lives.*Possible Spoiler* I will say that this book may be a potential trigger if you’ve dealt with any type of abuse in your life. *End Possible Spoiler* The reason this book didn’t get a higher rating from me was the ending. It felt very forced and somewhat rushed. The book seemed to unravel all the strings just to mush them all back together at the end, brining in old characters that didn’t have to do with the current story line and brining up even more questions about main characters.

Wow, now that was one great read!! Tense and twisty in all the right ways, with enough surprises sprinkled throughout to keep you on your toes. I don't want to say more to spoil anything but I will be recommending this one far and wide!!

This was okay.I enjoyed the first part but it went down hill from there,The characters were unlikable and the twists were such that I just ended up confused.I enjoy an unreliable narrator but this was a slog.

This book was extremely good. Right up to the end of the book there are plot twists and information to digest. All so seamlessly done it is incredible. Psychological thriller with more complex personalities than I have experienced in a while. I will read anything this talented author writes.

The book blurb says to assume nothing and that is dead on. Being told not to assume anything immediately put me on my guard to question everything I was reading, convinced that I would be able to find the cracks that would allow me to figure out what was going on. I was so wrong. The twist is that good. Really. If you love books full of misdirection and you love desperately trying to follow clues by tracking breadcrumbs along the way then this is a perfect read for you.

The Wife Between Us is a must read!!! The twists in the plot always surprised me. When I thought I knew what was going on, another major twist. Even at the very end of the book another twist totally changed the story. This book comes with my highest recommendation.

Why four stars I hear you cry when I so rarely give that ,well it's cause of the concept of perceptions ,our perception may be one thing ,a clear picture in our mind ,we have set out the characters on the stage and expect certain things of them ,this novel turns that on its head ,
Having read other reviews before I bought the novel saying similar an then starting to read it I cdnt understand what they meant ,and then ,well u will see ,it's not at the end it's half way through and then we follow another path.
I would Defo read this author again and reccimend to friends .
Was lucky to read through netgalley

Having never read anything by the authors before, I had absolutely no expectations when starting this book, except for an enjoyable few hours. I got that and more! This book took so many twists and turns and double around a that my head was spinning in delight as I strived to keep up with the pace. To say that I devoured this book would be inaccurate. I feasted on it not just while reading it but as it replayed in my head for a few days afterward. Kudos to the authors for creating an excellent book where nothing seems right but it all seems so very real.

Wow, it’s been a while since I read a thriller that wouldn’t let me put the book down.

As soon as I read the description for this novel I knew it was right for me. It grabbed me on the first page and after many twists and turns it still had my attention until the last page.

This is one of those books that I want to be able to give more than five stars as a rating. It was so good!

I don’t want to say anything about this book because I don’t want to risk spoiling anything, I think the publisher’s description should be more than enough.

If you love a good thriller, just read this, you won’t be disappointed.

The Wife Between Us is part Girl on the Train, part Gone Girl, and all intriguing.
It's hard to explain the plot with out giving away the book but at it's most simplest, it's a book about an ex wife dealing with the marriage of her ex husband. But things are nevr what they seem so the story snakes around and tales a fascination tale of deception and manipulation.
I really enjoyed this book. There were two twists I didn't see coming. I can't say anything about them but they change the way you view the book. If you read carefully, you will some of the smaller twists coming and feel pride when the events pay off-so don't let go of your theories just because you get thrown a loop.
The book lost a star for it's ending. The final acted was some what confusing and seemed misplaced though the final twist tries to explain why it seemed so weird. In fact, I feel like the Epilogue was wasted on this book. It would have been the greatest premise for a companion novel where you could really get into that character.
