The Younger Wife

I enjoyed this book from start to finish. It reminded me of "Three Wishes", which is one of my favorite books. The characters are so loveable with all of their quirks. A fun romance was woven into the storyline. I highly recommend this book.

"The Good Sister" was also written by Sally Hepworth. I rated that five stars as well. I will definitely look for more books written by Sally Hempworth.

I received this galley from NetGalley.

A great listen!! I love these narrators.

Quick read. Domestic violence and gaslight of women. Really well told.

This book was so good, it drew me in from the very first chapter then I was hooked. 
Told in multiple POVs, Rachel, Tully, Heather and a mystery other. 
I enjoyed every short chapter I just wasn’t keen on the ending 😐

Rating 3.5
So I enjoyed this but the ending was certainly a let down. The beginning was intriguing and exciting and then it just fell off.

3.75 - another great thriller by sally hepworth!! i love how this author includes lots of different dynamics into her books like family dynamics, mental health, working through trauma, relationships and more! she really captures the essence of how complicated life can be and then weaves in an interesting storyline along with it. i will say one conflict in this book is something i am finding i don’t like to read, but other than that i really enjoyed this. these books don’t have a whole lot of twists and turns, but everything that does happen keeps me invested in the story!
