Author: Shalini Boland
Publication Date: September 9, 2020
The Wife is a wonderfully twisted domestic thriller. All the twists kept me on the edge of my seat from the first page. I won’t say too much because I don’t want to ruin all the twists but I highly recommend The Wife.
Zoe fainted on her wedding day and doesn’t remember what caused her to faint or what was going on when she fainted. She just remembers an uneasiness during the day that was supposed to be the happiest day of her life but has the perfect marriage. Ten years later Zoe and Toby are getting ready to have a big 10 year anniversary celebration. People start acting weird around Zoe and unusual events are happening. Zoe starts to wonder what really happened on her wedding day.
The story switches between present day and ten years before, on Zoe’s wedding day and the months after the wedding.
The characters are much more likable than most thrillers, but you have to read to the end to find out who the villains are.
The Wife was my first Shalini Boland book, but definitely will not be my last. I am looking forward to reading her back list.
Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
