The Wives by Tarryn Fisher

This book was nothing like I expected it to be. I wish I had read more about it before starting it because I may have decided to pass on it. I did not expect the author to go the direction she did with the ending which was a nice surprise and made it a bit different from every other book ever written about cheating and betrayal.
In actuality, I minded the ending the least.
What I did mind was the themes in this book. I have come to realize that I don’t like to read a book about cheating or women who intentionally hurt each other; whether in the chase for a man, jealously, or revenge. I don’t need a happy, sappy, romance all the time but I do want a book that doesn’t fall back on the age old “women are crazy” theme. I want a thriller that does something different, something I haven’t read in every other thriller and this was not it.
The book was okay but at the same time I would have been just fine if I hadn’t read it.
