This Anonymous Girl made herself known

An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks, Sarah Pekkanen

I borrowed this book from a coworker a while ago. As I’ve stated previously, I have trouble with actual books. I read the most in my bed in the dark on my Kindle. Real books hurt when they hit you in the face because you fell asleep reading them. I have a feeling I might make some more time to read real books in my new house though. I’m moving in at the end of the month, and this is just one of the many […]

A standard domestic thriller with a premise that doesn’t really deliver.

She doesn’t know anything about the woman, but there is something familiar about her…  This leads Shay to spend her days […]

Pulling a bait and switch doesn’t make it a psychological thriller

The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen

It’s hard to describe The Wife Between Us without revealing spoilers. The official description says you’ll think it’s about the jealous former wife, upset about her ex-husband’s upcoming marriage. It says you’d be wrong to think that’s what it is about. That’s all true, but I don’t know how to say what it is about without revealing some of the twists.  The first third of the book goes back and forth between two women, Vanessa and Nellie. Vanessa is newly divorced, living with her elderly […]
