The Wives is one of those stories… the kind where you feel like if you tried to shut your eyes while in the middle of reading it, it would be impossible to do so. With one twist after another, the feeling of standing on incredibly unstable ground never quite goes away… and keeps your brain working in overtime to try to figure out just WHAT. THE. HECK. IS. REALLY. GOING. ON.
Thursday was such a complex and intriguing character. With the issues that exist within a plural marriage and the sacrifices she makes to be with the man she loves, she starts to contemplate if her life is really what it seems, and she does the one thing she promised to never do… find out everything she can about the other wives and the life they share with her husband…
This story had a dark and convoluted plot that kept me completely engrossed and hanging on the edge of my seat. It was not only intriguing, but superbly written and a uniquely fresh read as well. And just when you think you have it all figured out… the story will once again prove you very, very, wrong…
I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.
