This book was formally titled The Marriage Breakup. 

The Woman at Number 6 follows Tracy who randomly told her husband that she’s not in love with him anymore and she wants to divorce. Later on that night, Tracy is followed by a driver who attacked and kidnapped her. We are following multiple points of views to figure out what really happened to Tracy.

I rated The Woman at Number 6 4.5 stars.

I will be honest and state that I wanted to DNF (did not finish) this book on multiple occasions. This book was dragging on way too long. I had to skip a couple of chapters because they were not needed in the story. When I finally made it to 60% of this story, things started to take a huge turn and I loved it.

Matthew Farrell bamboozled me because the ending was a MASTERPIECE. Holy Shit there were so many plot twists and so many reveals that I was left with my head spinning. 

Although the story was really slow in the begging, the wait was definitely worth it. It’s THAT GOOD. I am now a huge fan of Matthew Farrell and I can’t wait to read more by this author in the future.
