Wow, what an intense and utterly gripping read.
This is the first book I have read by Shalini Bollard but it most definitely won’t be my last.
The Wife focuses on Zoe, who is a wife about to celebrate her 10th wedding anniversary; however she has always felt disappointed about her wedding day because she fainted and can’t remember much of it. It was more like a blurry dream than a vivid memory. She put it down to the fact that she later found out she was pregnant.
As the book progresses strange things start happening, she thinks she spots her sister who has been missing or ten years. Her sister in law who she was great friends with starts ghosting her and Zoe is so confused.
What really happened at her wedding ten years ago? The truth does come out and it had me open mouthed, I was not expecting that!
This was a brilliant book that kept me on the edge of my seat. It was full of secrets, mystery, lies and betrayal and I could not get enough.
Absolutely brilliant!
