The Other Mrs.
by Mary Kubica
3.5 stars that I'm rounding down to 3 because IMO I don't think this was a 4 star book.
I had a lot of high hopes for this book but I feel I was let down a bit. I kept waiting for something to happen and nothing happened but a murder within the first half of the story. The main character, Sadie, really got on my nerves and was acting like a nervous Nelly worrying over every. little. thing. So much so that if I had not been reviewing this for Netgalley, I'm not sure I would have finished it. Later, we find out exactly why she was acting that way but it took WAY too long to get there. The first half of this book is the build up to a big twist and then another couple twists happened later on. The ending felt rushed and too many unbelievable things happened (spoilers so can't tell ya. :) )
The story is told for most of the book by Sadie, Camille, and Mouse. Sadie is teliing the present POV, Camille is fills in some of the back story on herself and Sadie, and Mouse's sections seemed to have absolutely nothing to do with what was happening, but then all the pieces start to fit together. What you think you know, you really don't. That earned this book a half star bringing it up to a 3.5 from a 3 star.
I really wanted to like this book because I know many folks are talking about it, but it just didn't do it for me and a lot of the ending just felt very sloppy.
Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read and review this book for free for an honest review.
