We have an older surgeon marrying his new, much younger girlfriend. Only problem? He must first divorce his current wife- who can no longer speak for herself. Gasp.
My points:
The Younger Wife grabbed my attention from the very first page. I needed to know what happened next. The characters in this book were pretty hard to like. You have this family that looks perfect from the outside but they are actually the biggest hot mess express. I just wanted to force them all into therapy.
Worst of all? The end.
Be sure to check the long list or triggers on this one. It might be hard for a whole bunch of people.
Funny enough, I gave this one four stars right after I finished it. I guess I’m mostly conflicted upon reflection. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for an ARC of The Younger Wife. It publishes on April 5, 2022.
