My Review
The synopsis for Nobody’s Wife sounded right up my alley. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a book I just couldn’t get into a rhythm with. I didn’t quite understand why the characters did what they did. Especially when it came to Emily, I didn’t feel like I could understand at any point what was driving her decisions – was there more to her relationship with her sister, had she done anything like this in her past? I found myself with more and more questions as I continued to read, and I also felt like the book ended fairly abruptly, and with no real resolution. The story as a whole is pretty sad and depressing, and that doesn’t let up even as we drew to a close. With the first line in the synopsis I thought this actually might be a little suspenseful, but the death is a fairly small part of the story and not really what I would have expected from reading the blurb. There was definite potential with the plot, but ultimately not a favorite read of mine.
