I could not stop thinking of the short story ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ once the twist was revealed.

She tried to run, but she can't escape the other Mrs....
Sadie is our main character, she is the wife cheated on by her husband Will, who decided to move to his sister house for a fresh start. His sister suffered from a rare disease and decided to end her life leaving her only kid to Will to take care of. Imogen is only sixteen when her mom decides to end it, she is left alone in a huge house on the Coast of Main. Now, Sadie and Will are taking care of her. Sadie is a little bit of a cupcake wife which means she is very vulnerable but maybe because of the affair, Imogen is a hardcore rocker kid who is discovering herself, also battling with her mother's suicide as well, you can imagine the dynamic of the book by now. It's kinda funny if you think about it, their relationship is weird from the start because Sadie is afraid of Imogen if you can believe that.
Morgan is their neighbour, one night she is found dead, murdered so close to their home. This sends Sadie into a panic episode, she gave into fear. Will knows Morgan better, Sadie didn't meet her because in their relationship Will is the friendly one.
The book is coming from Sadie and Camille's perspective. Who is Camille? Ah, she is the chick Will was cheating with, she seems quite obsessive to be fair. Also, Sadie was Will's second choice when it came to marriage, his first was Erin. The more you know, the more you understand why Sadie is so bloody insecure.
The beginning of the book was appealing to me and it was interesting but that interest got lost somewhere in the middle. I can't wait to finish this book and I do hope it has a kick to it because if it doesn't have... well, don't bother.
Yea, waste of time. I hate that I've read it because of the awesome 5 star reviews, it's weak, clearly not a 5 star from me.

Another good twisty thriller. I knew when I thought I had it figured out that there had to be something more and I was right. But I still didn't figure everything out. It's a sad and disturbing story, but a twisty tale.

"The Other Mrs" is available NOW and it should not be missed! The Other Mrs is my first novel by Mary Kubica and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Twist after twist in this book practically made me dizzy! Yes there are some believability issues, but the story was so entertaining that it didn’t bother me. I loved how everything came together and connected through alternating points of view. There were some slow parts but overall this book had a quick pace and interesting characters.

Sadie and Will Foust move to Maine with their two sons after Wills sister committed suicide. Sadie is now the new doctor in town and Will works part time at the university. Wills sister left him her house and also guardianship of her daughter Imogen. Imogen is sullen and has an attitude to match her goth clothes and makeup. Sadie is determined to have a fresh start in Maine. Her and Wills marriage has hit a rough patch after his affair. After moving in their new neighborhood , their neighbor Morgan Baines is found murdered in her home. As the newcomers the suspicion turns to them. When a couple of elderly neighbors say they saw Sadie arguing with Morgan she can’t fathom why they would lie. Soon the local police department start investigating into their lives and Sadie doesn’t know who to trust and what’s going on. Sadie decides she will do whatever it takes to get to the bottom of the murder. With a killer on the loose she worries about the safety of her family or if the murderer could be someone in her own family! This book is told in three females POV’s, Sadie, Camille and a little girl named Mouse. Camille believes Will should be hers because she met him first and seems to have been stalking him for a while. She cannot accept that he and Sadie are married and wants her out of the picture. Mouse is a six year old who lives with her father and now step mother who she refers to as fake mom who is just awful to her. This book was a thrill ride and has so many twists and turns and you begin to wonder how this will all end up and the end will have you saying Oh My God. I give this five stars! I seriously could not put this book down! Highly recommend!

This was soooo slow. The ending was great, and the drama really kicked the book up a notch, but it had been 300 pages of nothing really and then everything happening at the end. I think this would’ve been better if it was either shorter, or had more drama throughout. Not a favourite of mine.
