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.

Twisted and deliciously chilling, Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen's The Wife Between Us exposes the secret complexities of an enviable marriage - and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love.

Read between the lies.

    Vorneweg: The Wife Between Us ist nichts für schwache Nerven. Häusliche Gewalt spielt eine Rolle, weswegen ich das Buch zwischendurch auch zur Seite legen musste. Es geht um Nellie, die kurz vor ihrer Hochzeit mit dem wohlhabenden, charmanten Richard steht. Dessen eifersüchtige und verrückte Exfrau Vanessa will diese allerdings verhindern. So scheint es zumindest. Tatsächlich ist es jedoch die Geschichte zweier Frauen, die langsam erkennen, was für ein Monster sie geheiratet haben beziehungsweise im Begriff stehen zu heiraten. Dieser Roman lohnt sich, da er einfach so unglaublich gut geschrieben ist und man vor Spannung kaum blinzeln will. Zwischendurch ist man manchmal verwirrt, bis man die Genialität des Plottwists erkennt. Das Thema ist so unglaublich brutal und schrecklich, aber zu lesen, wie Frauen sich trotz ihrer Angst dagegen wehren und am Ende siegen, lässt hoffen.

    der erste plottwist hat mich umgehauen, nach dem gab es keine plötzlichen und überraschenden dinge mehr, alles war vorhersehbar. die figuren ließen mich nicht in ihre herzen, berührten nicht meines. und das ende war abrupt, wie ein schmerzhaft abgerissenes pflaster. schade, dabei hat es vielversprechend angefangen!
