Susanne's Reviews > The Next Wife

Review posted to blog: Far-fetched, yet entertaining.

As a huge fan of Kaira Rouda, I jumped at the chance to read “The Next Wife” - as “Best Day Ever” was one of my favorite reads and “The Favorite Daughter” was also quite fabulous and both Paul Strom and Jane are characters I won’t soon forget.

While I enjoyed “The Next Wife” - I didn’t quite love it.

Why? Suspending disbelief is not my strong suit and this thriller requires it.

A family who had everything. Kate, John and Ashlyn. Torn apart by infidelity, after John leaves his wife for a woman close to his daughter’s age.

Tsk Tsk John! Be careful what you wish for.

The new wife who wants it all and more.

Tish, was it worth it?

Baawaaaahhhh!

If only this thriller kept me on my toes. If only I didn’t guess the ending early on. Rolling my eyes occurred more than once. Thank goodness Kaceey kept me company!

A buddy read with Ms. Kaceey. Thank you for reading this one with me Kaceey! I so enjoyed our discussions over this far-fetched read!

Thank you to Amazon First/Amazon Prime for the arc.
