Includes readers' guide.
Shes never met the other wives. None of them know each other, and because of this unconventional arrangement, she can see her husband only one day a week. But she loves him so much she doesn't care. Or at least that's what she told herself. But one day, while she's doing laundry, she finds a scrap of paper in his pocket, an appointment reminder for a woman named Hannah, and she knows it's another of the wives. She thought she was fine with her arrangement, but she can't help herself: she tracked her down, and, under false pretenses, she strikes up a friendship. Hannah has no idea who she is. Then, Hannah starts showing up to her coffee dates with telltale bruises, and she realize she's being abused by her husband. Who, of course, is also her husband. But shes never known him to be violent, ever. Who exactly is her husband, and how far would she go to find the truth? Would she risk her own life? And who is his mysterious third wife?

Great premise, terrible storytelling
submitted by Brownize on July 5, 2020, 9:21pm
The book description sounded fascinating. The actual book....not so much. Terrible storytelling and a unreliable narrator. The book delves into so many serious psychological issues but does little to address them and if it does, it's in a very superficial and stereotypical way.
Don't bother reading. Grab the cliff notes version which can tell you in 2 sentences what happened.
