The Wife by Alafair Burke
2.5
Read Completed 10/23/23 | 2.5 stars
THE WIFE was just okay for a while and then I got pretty bored but was already too far to quit reading. I was hoping the ending would pay off but the best part of the book just got tossed in there at the end instead of really letting it land.
The way it was written didn't really let those twists unfold as well as they could have and I think I don't like ANY of the characters in this book... except for Corrine.
This was a little slow, then it got slower. I didn't love the subject matter but I hoped it was working its way towards something else. I guess this just might not have been my kind of thriller, but I was at least hoping the ending was worth it. It just never got there for me.
