Staff Reviews

This book was such a delightful read! One I just could not put down. Told from the Point of View of Thursday, the book starts off by telling of how she has settled in her life. Sure, she has the beautiful apartment, filled with beautiful things. She is educated, beautiful (although never the most beautiful girl in the room, as her mother has always reminded her) and she has the sweet, handsome, and hardworking husband Seth at her side. Or does she? Thursday reflects upon her agreement with Seth, at first determined to keep the peace, and make peace with it as well. Can Thursday really cope of being his wife, but only one of three? And Seth has rules. He maintains 3 separate households, one with each wife. She doesn't even know their names. She knows nothing about the other women that her husband spends his life with. Sure, she is his "legal" wife, as in she is the one he's married to on paper. However, when his newest and youngest wife becomes pregnant, Seth spends more and more time with her, and less and less with Thursday. Thursday decides she MUST at least see this new wife, make sure she is good. With a little snooping, she meets the mysterious 3rd wife. Thursday is shocked at just how gorgeous she is and can't help but think "SO that's why my husband rushed off to claim her, she could be a model." Thursday hatches a plan to not only have seen her, but she also won't be satisfied until they are in fact friends. It doesn't take long for things to spin dangerously out of control.

Description

From the author of Never Never, co-written with Colleen Hoover

#1 New York Times bestselling author Tarryn Fisher delivers a pulse-pounding, fast-paced suspense novel that will leave you breathless--an instant bestselling thriller you won't be able to put down

Imagine that your husband has two other wives.

You've never met the other wives. None of you know each other, and because of this unconventional arrangement, you can see your husband only one day a week. But you love him so much you don't care. Or at least that's what you've told yourself.

But one day, while you're doing laundry, you find a scrap of paper in his pocket--an appointment reminder for a woman named Hannah, and you just know it's another of the wives.

You thought you were fine with your arrangement, but you can't help yourself: you track her down, and, under false pretenses, you strike up a friendship. Hannah has no idea who you really are. Then Hannah starts showing up to your coffee dates with telltale bruises, and you realize she's being abused by her husband. Who, of course, is also your husband. But you've never known him to be violent, ever.

Who exactly is your husband, and how far would you be willing to go to find out?

And who is his mysterious third wife?
