The Ex-Wives is a story about Elena who is married to Jackson and supposedly lives the perfect life along with her daughter Phoebe. Soon we find out that Jackson has had two previous marriages where they each lost their daughters after leaving him. Turns out, life with Jackson isn’t as perfect as it seems.
I listened to the audiobook and really enjoyed the narration, it was well done and it was easy to follow the different characters. The storyline itself was good, I enjoyed the twist but I also felt that it dragged a little bit with various plot lines that felt unnecessary to the overall story.
As we kept getting little glances at Elena’s past life I really wish this was fleshed out more, particularly around how she met Jackson. I really enjoyed the end which is where a story really clinches it rating with me. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys this genre.
