It was tedious to read. So much boring stuff included- all kinds of mundane details which didn't enrich the story. Like reading my grandma's diary.Then there were cheesy elements to the plot line, which made me wonder if it was meant to be cheeky rather than realistic (like reading Confessions of a Shopaholic or watching Death Becomes Her). But it turns out, it was meant to be serious... like an 80s horror movie. The plot was far-fetched. Characters did things that didn't make any sense in terms of human nature. Would not recommend.

My Husband Wife (Audible Audio Edition) Jane Corry Abigail Thaw Lily Bevan Penguin Books Ltd Books Reviews
So hard to read. At moments I felt like I was reading a 3rd graders essay explaining horrible soap operas. Terrible story line, still trying to figure out how this has a 3.8 star rating. Do yourself a favor and pick literally anything else instead.
Long and drawn out. The main characters are interesting however the story has two many plots going on and is never ending. The ending is not the way I pictured it and let the reader down. The husband's profession and paintings should have been used as a major part of the story. I wouldn't recommend it.
So every time, I saw this book cover and title, I would say to myself, "get this darn book and read it already". I kept putting it off and telling myself I'd get it when my work day was over. Imagine my surprise when I won!
Author Jane Corry does a wonderful job introducing her characters and weaving their stories together. I found myself undecided on who I wanted to root for. The poor little Italian girl bullied by the rich kids for being so different. The beautiful mom who made very little money to support her kid and had to play the "other woman" role. The newly married wife with her insecurities. In the end, I didn't root for any of them. Instead, I chose to root for the friend who was always there. Even though he is not a huge part of the book, I felt like he ended up with the better story.
Thank you Viking Books for the Goodreads giveaway opportunity.
This book was just ok. The story line could get laborious and silly at points instead of suspenseful. I didn't hate it but it was a mediocre book.
I didn't like any of the characters. With the exception of Joe, the convicted murderer, they were all whiny and manipulative. Joe was manipulative and creepy, but not whiny.
I'm not sure why I stuck with it; I guess it was just barely interesting enough to keep me coming back, but I'm really glad it's over!
I would only call this a “page turner” because I just wanted the story to get moving. Very sluggish read. Almost boring. Especially reading it on the heels of the excellent “Silent Lies”. I couldn’t put that down and read it in one sitting. Perhaps if I’d read this first, I would have enjoyed it more. I really wanted to like it.
What ruined this book for me was the age-old notion of the weak and masochistic woman overpowered by an arrogant man.
Highlights from lawyer Lily’s affair with her client, the murderer
“He’s acting like he’s in charge of me. So why do I feel a sense of rising excitement as well as annoyance?”
“The presumption both irritates and thrills me. Yet I go along with it…”
“But even as I speak, I feel the same crawling sensation from the past. That pull—that magnetic pull toward a man I despise.”
“I can smell his breath on mine. I can smell his skin. I want to move away. But my legs won’t obey. “
“As Joe had pushed me roughly to the ground and unbuttoned my blouse, I remembered how ‘wrong’ and ‘lust’ could give you an inexplicable million-volt charge that was like nothing else.
The change in the character that comes at the end of the book is too little, too late.
In fairness to the author, I will say that she does know how to build suspense and lead us into the characters’ minds. I did want to know what happened next. But every character is living a miserable life or making dumb choices, such as when a married woman lets a young woman move in. I thought the low point had been reached when a character regards her newborn baby as a “thing” that reminds her of a dead baby bird or a rat. But the story manages to get even creepier when, toward the end Lily reveals another affair, this one even more sordid than the one she had with the murderer.
“The knowledge that it was wrong only added to the excitement….Even as I speak, I can still recall the illicit thrill.” Of course.
