8 posts | 4 read | 9 to read
Zoe fainted on her wedding day, and she never knew why. Shes always felt sure something bad happened. Ten years later, shes going to find out what It was supposed to be the happiest day of her life. Zoe was sitting in her hotel room, in her perfect white dress, looking forward to the moment when she would make kind, handsome Toby her husband. Then, there was a blank. They said she must have fainted, overcome with emotion. But nothing felt quite right afterwards. Did something happen in that missing time? Now, Toby and Zoe have two beautiful children and a perfect life. Theyre planning their ten-year anniversary party for their family and friends. The invitations have been sent, the food ordered. Theyre going back to the grand hotel where they got married. But as the anniversary gets closer, it becomes clear not everyone is looking forward to celebrating. She catches Toby lying about where hes been. One of her best friends seems to be ignoring her. And someone is spreading stories that might stop the party from happening at all. Zoe is increasingly sure that she doesnt have the full story. But does she want to know the truth, if it will destroy everything? From the million-copy bestselling author, this totally gripping psychological thriller will have you hooked from the first page to the last jaw-dropping twist. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl and The Wife Between Us. Readers love Shalini Boland: Completely and utterly mesmerising! I literally couldnt put it down!!

Zoe fainted on her wedding day. She‘s feels something bad happened. On her 10th year anniversary she finds out the truth. psychological thriller that kept me riveted. well-developed characters. plot kept twisting until the very end. different timelines switching from Now and Then. ending complete surprise. epilogue - sequel is possible?
I enjoyed Boland's writing. looking forward to reading more of her books. highly recommend. Thanks NetGalley

This was an excellent psychological thriller, great suspense throughout. I like the way the author took the time to build it up and peel off layer after layer until we got to a tense and excellent ending to the book. This isn‘t an author I had heard of previously but do want to read more by her. This is my 12th #NetGalley book finished for #NetGalleyReviewathon during August.

Started reading The Wife, a #NetGalley book. This one is a psychological thriller and early part quite suspenseful. #NetGalleyReviewathon

Tove_Reads I loved it! 4y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads About a third of the through and build nicely. Starting to make me neurotic! 🤣 4y
Tove_Reads Told a friend of mine about this book. Said I‘m so glad I don‘t have people like that in my life. He said how do you know... 😱 4y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads 🤣🤣🤣 Do you need to look at your friend‘s actions. 4y

An enjoyable read, a book I will not easily forget, written by a talented author. Well-developed characters, and the perfect pace and balance of dropping information to the reader. How have I not heard of her before? Highly recommended if you like psychological suspense thrillers. 5th book in the NG readathon. #netgalley #thewife #netgalleyreviewathon

Tove_Reads @andrew65 now it's a red shirt, but the dark blue main colour, and the yellow text. 😂 4y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Have we read any books with red being worn that isn‘t a good book? 4y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 Good question! Can‘t think of one right now, but will look into it! Btw, your top 10 list, books and series, you still owe me! This tagged book is a 5- read! 4y
