Vanessa is divorced, working at a Saks and living with her aunt. Less than a year ago, her marriage to Richard, a hedge fund manager, fell apart. Nellie is newly engaged to Richard, full of hope and busy making wedding plans. The book opens with Vanessa watching the other woman, the one her husband left her for.
The plot seems straightforward enough, but of course the description on the cover warns us to be wary of assumptions. It seems like a run of the mill love triangle, but of course what’s really going on is much more complicated…
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, 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.
