My Husband's Wife by Jane Corry

3.0

Nearly 400 pages of [a:Jane Corry|15241064|Jane Corry|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1485797349p2/15241064.jpg]'s psychological thriller that I was very excited about reading felt more like 4,000 pages. I kept waiting to understand the title of [b:My Husband's Wife|31227076|My Husband's Wife|Jane Corry|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1471284547l/31227076._SY75_.jpg|45514375]...and, unfortunately, a connection (but not a twist or jaw-dropping revelation) was made until deep in the novel. Told from two points of view, over a span of nearly two decades, this book kept my interest while reading, but it did not keep me from putting it down. I was deeply invested in the character of Lily, and also of Joe, but in the end, neither character had a shocking transformation. Jane Corry started My Husband's Wife out so very strong, with Lily defending Joe, and Carla as a troubled child. Part Two did not live up to the first half, and left me wanting so much more from a thriller said to be "a must-read" (BUSTLE) and "provocative...delicious...addictive" (THE WASHINGTON POST). I am curious about [b:Blood Sisters|35580277|Blood Sisters|Jane Corry|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1515372747l/35580277._SY75_.jpg|51044685], and may give [a:Jane Corry|15241064|Jane Corry|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1485797349p2/15241064.jpg] another try.
