After listening to this book, I will be looking for other books from Greer and Sarah. Why? I like a mystery suspense book that makes me question what is going on because a sentence or paragraph could move the story in multiple directions. It leaves you wondering which direction the story is taking and how are the characters going to react.
The plot twists in this book kept me engaged and moving forward. The pace was good; the first section was slower then section two and three picked up momentum and clipped right along.

This book had several twists and turns. I didn't necessarily suspect any of them, but I won't say they really gave me a huge shock factor, either. Without saying too much, I will say that the one that really surprised me was when we found out more about the relationship between the dual narrators, Vanessa and Nellie. I was also surprised by the final twist in the epilogue; that one I totally didn't expect. Other than that, I felt that the other big twists were just, "meh."
Overall, I didn't love this book. I'm glad I didn't spend the money to buy The Wife Between Us; I listened to the audio book on Libby. I will give the authors another try, as I already own An Anonymous Girl, and that one seems to have higher praise than this one did.
