Reseñas
The Wife Between Us has been at the top of my must-reads list since I first heard the announcement. The highly anticipated novel from Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen promised a suspense driven novel like no other, the story about a marriage as it fell apart and the women affected by it. It's a domestic thriller, the kind of novel that makes you question everything. Who did it? Why? How? Am I really reading the truth right now? Like previous popular suspense and thriller novels, The Wife Between Us has an unreliable narrator, a mixture of points-of-views, and flashbacks for readers to dig through to find the truth. It's like Gone Girl and The Girl On the Train, the story similar in plot, but very different in its delivery.
"She is oblivious to hwat I have done to her. She is unaware of the damage I have wrought; the ruin I have set in motion."
The blurb ends with "assume nothing," and it's so very accurate for this novel. No one is who you think they are and the relationships between them are muddled with lies, heartbreak, and an awful lot of secrets. Divided into three parts, readers get to know Vanessa, Nellie, Richard, Emma, and Aunt Charlotte. I would talk about each, but to share my thoughts on the characters and their development would really give too much away. Each part is driven by suspense and mystery, a complete story in each part that leads to the next, the questions only piling higher. The first part was unique, I really got caught up in it, but as the book shifted into part two and later part three, I found myself a bit bored. There are some big twists in this book, but they didn't really lead to the massive blow up, the game changer, I have come to expect from suspenseful thriller novels. I needed more time with the characters and more of a chance to truly understand how one marriage fell apart and created the mess that each character is now wading through. I still enjoyed the book though, the first part and the epilogue truly outweighing the chapters that lacked excitement.
I'd been deceitful. I hadn't been a good wife."
Marriage is complex, there are always three sides to every story, or if you're reading The Wife Between Us, there's even more. Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen tear apart the makeup of a marriage, revealing the love, the lies, the betrayal, the happiness, and the tiny moments that turn into an avalanche that suffocates it. It's fast paced and well written, even with two authors. I truly enjoyed all of the twists and turns in The Wife Between Us, it had just the right amount of deceit, but ended up lacking some in the details. I really look forward to seeing this one on the big screen, as word has spread the book has been optioned for film.

Nellie is ready to commit to her fiance, Richard. The wedding is planned and she is tidying up a few loose ends before the nuptials. Nellie loves her job at the Learning Ladder where she teaches children, but she knows her life is about to change once she walks down the aisle. Her fiance Richard is wealthy affording her opportunities she would never have on a teachers salary and living in New York City. She is a sweet girl making a very big life change. Although she is much younger than Richard, he seems to be able to take care of her and make her feel safe. Nellie is not all that she seems though and has a very big secret from her past that she does not want to get out. Not only is she carrying a secret, but she also finds herself with a new stalker, Richard’s ex-wife Vanessa.
Vanessa once had it all before her divorce from Richard. Now she finds herself almost penniless, living with her aunt, and working at SAKS, a high end retail store. Her life is definitely not going in the right direction. To top it all off, she medicates herself with alcohol and wonders where her life went wrong all the while still trying to fight her feelings for Richard. He was her entire world for a long time and he still has power over her feelings. Things go from bad to worse when Vanessa finds out that her ex-husband is engaged to a younger woman and she will do everything in her power to stop the wedding from happening.
THE WIFE BETWEEN US is a riveting and engrossing psychological thriller that pulls you in right from the start. I thought I knew where the story was heading right from the beginning. I could not have been more wrong. The collaboration of Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen created one intense mind boggling story. The pacing in the beginning is nice and slow and really digs into the background of Nellie and Vanessa and before you know it the story takes a twist that is very unexpected. I consider myself pretty good at figuring out clues. Nothing could have prepared me for this story. I was so wrong and pretty much shocked up until the end. I cannot stress enough just how much I LOVED this story. Please do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of this book or you will miss out on one genius story. This is one for my keeper shelf.
I have loved Sarah Pekkanen since her first book came out in 2010. This collaboration is seemless . I could not tell when Hendricks was writing and when Pekkanen was writing. Holy plot twists, Batman. This book kept guessing with all of its twists and turns. I may go back and reread it to look for foreshadowing. Fans of Gillian Flynn will love this one. I hope Hendricks will continue to write books, too.
