Welcome to Litsy!

This book has a very interesting premise- the wife of a controlling and manipulative husband must come to grips with her past while dealing with a tumultuous present and a murky future. There are a couple of unexpected twists in the plot, and this makes for an interesting read. However, the end tied things up so neatly that the book lost its‘ punch for me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I devoured this book in two sittings. The story kept me hooked from the beginning and had some quite unexpected twists. Assume nothing!

This book was a pleasant surprise. A friend gave me this, and I did not know what to expect. It ended up being an engaging story. I have to admit that the twists kept me guessing and they totally got me. I enjoyed not knowing what would come next. I liked this one. It has been a while since I have been kept so off kilter while reading a book.

When you read this book, you will make many assumptions.
You will assume you are reading about a jealous ex-wife.
You will assume she is obsessed with her replacement – a beautiful, younger woman who is about to marry the man they both love. 
You will assume you know the anatomy of this tangled love triangle.
Assume nothing.

Five dinos for this one. Solidly written plot. So many twists you dont see coming. A very relatable main character. I did several double takes as the story unfolded. One of the twists actually had me reaching out to friends who've read the book so I could be like UM I HAVE QUESTIONS. I would definitely recommend!

I think the content presentation was original enough, but all this craziness, jealousy and mad characters...

I think I would have liked it more if I had not just finished The Last Mrs. Parrish. Too similar!

This book was just the right amount of creepy. Page turner, full of mystery.

I actually finished this a couple days ago, but I couldn‘t think of how to rate it. I think it‘s because I once lived a marriage much like the one in the book, and that always kinda throws me when it comes time to write a review. That‘s all I‘m saying because I don‘t want to spoil it for anyone. But I liked this a lot. It was a quick, entertaining read. Definitely an easy weekend or vacation read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow. This book was amazing. So many unpredictable twists and turns, didn‘t expect anything that happened!! I highly recommend The Wife Between Us! 5/5 ⭐️

Keeping track of this plot was like what!? A lot of twists. I thought I knew what was going on and then it changed. Which I like because sometimes it sucks when you can guess the solution so easily. I finished this off on my 30 min walk today for #bfc and let me just tell y‘all. It‘s too hot to live right now! Time for a cold shower.

Oh twisty twisty. This is a pretzel of a book.🥨

I listened to this on audio, and even though the narrator sounded a bit robotic, it definitely held my interest. Was it the best twisty book ever, no, but still a solid pick.

It‘s been a busy couple of days, so another audiobook was called for. This is the one that I started today.

I really enjoyed this book. The last 1/3 or so was unputdownable. Twists are revealed as the book moves along, keeping the reader engaged. I thought it was cleverly written, and I cared about the characters. A perfect vacation read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

This was a book full of twists and turns! I enjoyed it as it reminded me of “The Breakdown” by B.A. Paris in ways! At the end I read a sample of another book “An Anonymous Girl” by the authors and will definitely be adding it to my list to read!

Currently listening to this, while I arrange my physical books 🎧📚💕

Amazing phycological thriller! Right amount of twists and turns, lovable characters and the need to keep turning pages until it‘s over!

Just started this, so far so good!

5/6 kids in the pool, 1 kid took a run, 1 adult in the hot tub, 1 adult inside reading or napping, 1 adult prepping dinner, and I‘m reading (this book has gotten SO GOOD) - I‘ll be on clean up duty later. It‘s raining, but I‘m under an umbrella and the kids don‘t care. Immediately after this photo was taken, there was a streak of lightning and a clap of thunder. They scattered from the pool like roaches when a light is turned on! SO FUNNY!

The kids just cleared out because dinner is ready. I‘m soaking up a few more minutes of sun before heading inside. #vacation #beachpoolbeerrepeat

Great story. It had me all the way until the end. I couldn't figure out who the wife between us was exactly. I think I have an idea now.

Switching gears to a psychological thriller for my next read. ❤️📚

We stopped at a Goodwill this evening and I found a few wishlist books! I really feel like the titles go together poetically:

Look for me
The girl before
The wife between us

I might have to throw in a few more at some point for some book spine poetry!

Have you read any of these?

This is an interesting book. I kept thinking how confusing the story was - all the twists, flashbacks, deceptions. I was worried that I was missing something until the authors admitted how confusing the story is, like an octopus with the legs going all over the place. Even with all of the confusion I enjoyed the story. I did not see the ending and had an "ohhhh wow" moment.

I just finished this audiobook earlier today. I thought it was great. I read some other reviews on Goodreads that said the twists were obvious but I didn‘t feel that way. It kept me engrossed and I genuinely enjoyed it.

This was a quick read, and it kept me entertained, but when I finished I didn't have strong feelings about it. Kept me reading, but I felt like it wanted to keep surprising me with twists that I didn't think were very surprising. It was an average 3/5 ⭐ for me.

OK, I will try not to spoil this book. But let me just say that Richard is unbalanced and his sister is creepy! Love the book I did not see the ending coming.

I thought this book a fun little romp. Some have given it a hard time for being predictable but I didn‘t think that kept it from being enjoyable at all. If you like the occasional soapy page turner, maybe check this one out.

Tonight I read by candlelight on our deck. What a resplendently luminous patchwork the clouds have created for the moon to shine through tonight! I also noticed the first lightening bugs of the season cavorting in the yard. Welcome back, wee bringers of joy! I am so happy to see you again. 🖤#springtimeintheozarks #grateful #maketimeforjoy

On to the next one! #thewifebetweenus 🤷

Highly recommend. The story is written in stages. It is very well written and interesting every time you think it is clear another twist occurs.

I am half way through and I cannot put this down!

So good!!! The ending was a little flat for all the excitement and twists that happened in part 1 & 2, but still good. Definite pick.

#audiowalk - it‘s 🌹 spring 🌹 !!! ♥️

I thought this was a very solid psychological thriller and threw me more than one curve ball. Enjoyable and a little intense.

Found a new thrift store and snagged all these books for $4! Happy reading!

Listening to this audiobook on the way up to Maine while my mom and her corgi spend some quality snuggle time next to me. Look at how satisfied this dog is! 😆

Getting ready for an #audiowalk with this book and #Chloe is trying to play with my earphones (she‘s in stalking mode here). #catsoflitsy

1 - Kitties who are excited to see me when I get home!
2 - having a story read to me - it‘s so soothing.
3 - Vanilla chai with my son while he cracks me up making dumb jokes on our car ride home - that kid is the funniest person I know!

An entertaining read, though I guessed several of the twists. Perhaps I've been reading too many similar books this year. Between 3.5 and 4⭐

This was a little slow in the beginning. Started to pick up in part 2 with some unexpected twists. Would be a great beach read!

I read An Anonymous Girl first and loved it so I decided to give this book a try. It was pretty good. Kept my interested enough to where I didn't want to put the book down but I didn't love it as much as Anonymous Girl.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hoping to get this finished before bookclub tonight🙈

Started The Wife Between Us on my first break at work. Loved An Anonymous Girl so hopefully this is good too.

A good read with a few twists!

Really good!!

I've heard mixed things about this one. Let's see how it is 🤗📖

I liked this more than I expected, especially after seeing some bad reviews. Between the synopsis and clues throughout I felt like the first "twist" halfway in wasn't supposed to be a huge surprise and I liked that the MC suddenly gained a lot more agency after that and broke away from stereotypes of the genre. There were a lot of subplots with mini twists but I felt they worked together thematically so they didn't stretch my disbelief too much.

This was very good.

I gave it 4 out of 5 stars, because I could predict the next plot twists after the big one at about the halfway point of the book.

Really enjoyed this one. Some great, crazy plot twists! Entertaining, but not too deep. Just a fun read!
