Published: January 9th 2018 by St. Martin's Press

A novel of suspense that explores the complexities of marriage and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love.

Assume nothing.

My thoughts about The Wife Between Us ~~
(originally posted on December 6, 2017)

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First lines—"She walks briskly down the city sidewalk, her blond hair bouncing against her shoulders, her cheeks flushed, a gym bag looped over her forearm. When she reaches her apartment building, her hand dips into her purse and pulls out her keys. The street is loud and busy, with yellow cabs racing by, commuters returning from work, and shoppers entering the deli on the corner. But my eyes never stray from her."

Wow! Just wow! This book blew me away. I thought I knew what was what and who was who. And boy, was I wrong. I thought I had it all figured out, but nope, it did not turn out at all like I thought it would.

This book is honestly a page turner as well as a giant puzzle. I remember reading along and then experiencing a shift. I almost did a double-take, if you can double-take while reading. I shook my head and thought, 'Wait a minute, what just happened? I am confused.'

Trust me, you are not going to want to miss this exciting, engaging, and enticing read. This is one you will think about long after you close the cover. 

About the authors

Greer Hendricks

Greer Hendricks spent over two decades as an editor at Simon & Schuster. Prior to her tenure in publishing, she worked at Allure Magazine and obtained her Master’s in Journalism from Columbia University. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times and Publishers Weekly. She lives in Manhattan with her husband and two children. The Wife Between Us is her first novel. ~ Website

********************

Internationally bestselling author Sarah Pekkanen's newest book is The Perfect Neighbors. She is also the co-author of the upcoming The Wife Between Us (out in January 2018). 

Her prior novels are: Things You Won't Say, Catching Air, The Best of Us, The Opposite of Me, Skipping a Beat, and These Girls.  

Sarah is the mother of three young boys, which explains why she writes part of her novels at Chuck E. Cheese. Sarah penned her first book, Miscellaneous Tales and Poems, at the age of 10. When publishers failed to jump upon this literary masterpiece (hey, all the poems rhymed!) Sarah followed up by sending them a sternly-worded letter on Raggedy Ann stationery. Sarah still has that letter, and carries it to New York every time she has meetings with her publisher, as a reminder that dreams do come true. ~ Goodreads

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? November 27, 2017


It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's an opportunity to visit other blogs and to comment on their reads. And ... you can add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!

**************************************

What a wonderful week and weekend. We celebrated Thanksgiving on Thursday with part of the family, watched the 3yo grandson on Friday, and then I just relaxed and read the rest of the weekend. It was great to have that down time now because the weekends for the whole month of December are already booked. Yikes! 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a good week. Happy reading!
