I loved it!
I was so confused by the wife and ex-wife, but I loved the confusion!
You think you know what's going on.
You think the ex is a jealous bitch.
You know nothing!
Nothing is what you think.
You have no clue to what's going to happen!
I was blown away by the ending.

I Definitely recommend this one!

"The best domestic suspense novel since Gone Girl."

First off, when I see this comparison, it's usually the kiss of death to a book for me. But, "they" got it right this time. This was an absolutely mind blowing tale. I can't say enough how much I thoroughly enjoyed it.
And I must say, all the assumptions I made (even after reading the blurb) wrong oh so wrong! This twisty tale will knock you on your butt so many times. Just as soon as you think you have something figured out-nope! you will be wrong.
I actually listened to this as an audio book. I only listen for about three hours a week while driving to visit the grand babies and have found that only suspense thrillers are acceptable (for me) when driving. This book kept me sitting in the car long after I had arrived and once home had to finish it before going to bed. Not only will I be one of the first in line to buy tickets when this is released as a movie but I intend to "reread" it in print and see if I pick up on any of the twists before the reveal. A very satisfying read!

This is good reading. I recently read Liv Constantine's THE LAST MRS. PARRISH and there were many similarities in this book, but it did take a completely different direction. I would definitely recommend.

I picked up this book and thought "I'll just see if I like this." About 50 pages into the book, I realized that I had gone more than a few pages to decide and was totally sucked into it! So cleverly written with twists and turns in the plot. The main character, Nellie, is heartbroken and divorced from her husband, Richard, after he falls for a younger woman. We learn about Nellie's college days and who she was before she met her husband as well as how their marital relationship grew and finally fell apart. I don't want to give too much of the plot away but I will just say that it definitely is a thriller of a story. Absolutely loved this!
