What to expect
The Wives. You’re not the only one…
‘Will leave the most sure-footed reader uneasy until the last word is read’ Sunday Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover
‘I was hooked to the very last page’ Sunday Times bestselling author Adele Parks
You’ve never met the other wives. None of you know each other, you see your husband only one day a week. Thursday. But you don’t care, you love him that much. Or at least that’s what you’ve told yourself…
And then, one day it all changes.
You thought you were fine with this, with only having a fraction of a husband. But you can’t help yourself, you start to dig. You begin tracking them down, the other days… Who is Monday and why does she have bruises on her arms? Is she being abused? By who? Her husband? Your husband?
What else is he keeping from you? And who is he, really?

Audio.
This was a strange read. For a start, the narrator wasn’t particularly exciting to listen to and her voice grated on me a little.
There’s no getting away from the fact that it was definitely an unusual premise, but the twist that lots of reviews speak about, for me, was bland and not really worth waiting for.
