A successful man, his bitter ex-wife who is desperate to stop his remarriage to his beautiful love interest is the core plot of the novel. Vanessa is a native Floridian and she falls for Richard- a wealthy businessman.

Richard has a smooth talking and imposing personality. Vanessa has a dark secret from her college days. They get married and live an affluent life in New York. They eventually shift to a suburban mansion, where Vanessa finds difficulty in adjusting to. She is unable to find happiness and purpose of her life in their new home. She becomes gloomy and depressed and the marriage starts to fall apart.

Richard then falls for Nelly as his relationship with Vanessa has worsened considerably. The couple who were once in love now only share mistrust and resentment between them.

Vanessa is working as a sales associate and living with her aging aunt Charlotte. She is obsessed with Nelly and wants to make sure that Nelly and Richard do not get married. She can not stand the thought of another women in Richard’s life. It may look like Vanessa is acting like this due to jealousy, however, she has a far deeper motive than that.

Review

The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks, Sarah Pekkanen is a complex novel depicting the intricacies of relationships and betrayal. The authors use the unreliable narrator style to take the plot forward. The writing is fast-paced and filled with unexpected twists and turns which will keep the readers engrossed till the end.

The characters are developed nicely by the authors and they detail the motivations of the characters to act in the way they do in the novel. The suspense and the tension builds gradually in the plot and the readers will not be able to predict the ending. This is a razor-sharp thriller novel and is a recommended read.

  • I was really excited to read this book because it had such positive reviews and the description intrigued me. I bumped it up on my list of books to listen to and I listened to the whole thing. I kept hoping that it would get better or more interesting, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The story revolves around a woman who is feeling down because her ex-husband is getting married to someone else. However, her true intention is to warn the new woman about her ex. One major annoyance for me was that the narrator used the same voice for every male character, which got on my nerves. Towards the very end, there was a twist, but honestly, I couldn't bring myself to care about it because it was so insignificant and didn't add anything substantial to the story. Overall, I found this book to be dull and the characters were not likeable. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
  • This audiobook was a total mess. The writers just couldn't keep track of the names of the two main characters throughout each of the female characters' narratives. It was seriously challenging to keep up with the story.
  • I'm tired of these weak, complaining characters who allow themselves to be taken advantage of, don't stand up for themselves verbally, and question every decision they make. Is this how women in general think? If anyone, not just my parents, tried to dictate how I should live my life, they would definitely need to reassess their perspective. Also, enough with the unnecessary guilt for events that were beyond your control. You need to stop second-guessing yourself and relying on substance abuse whenever things go awry.
  • The Wife Between Us is a gripping psychological thriller that delves into the tumultuous relationship of a young couple struggling to meet their own marriage expectations. Contrary to what some reviews may imply, it's important to note that this novel is not on par with Gone Girl. It lacks the same level of intensity and a truly compelling plot with jaw-dropping twists. While it begins with great promise, the story becomes muddled and, to be honest, somewhat inconsequential. One shining aspect of this audiobook is Julia Whelan's exceptional narration, which captivates listeners and keeps them engaged in the story.
  • I absolutely loved The Wife Between Us! It was so captivating that I couldn't stop listening to it, especially on my snow day today. The surprises and unexpected plot twists were incredibly unique. I really hope that Greer and Sarah team up for another collaboration because I am definitely a fan. Hashtag, definitelyafan!
