Book Review: "The Next Wife" By Liz Lawler



This is a book that appears to be cut/dry but ends up being confusing and extremely perplexing.

It begins with a newly married couple (Tess/Daniel Myers) as newlyweds (4 months) who seem to have some issues with this surgeon that seems perfect.

Too good to be true?
Is she good enough?
What happened to his first wife?

I'm not sure what to say as the dynamics change rather quickly.

I could've sworn I read about a name change but then I later believe it was about an individuals father and some deep seeded hidden secrets.

There's many triggering content such as suicide, spousal abuse, and more.

With this noted there's a young impressionable boy with some thoughtful reflections about his past and while it seems to bring some answers it creates more troubled terrain.

Questions pertaining to paternity and a weird connection with a guy named Jim who is by this older woman's side named Martha with her possible dementia is also a twister. No worries as it comes together in the end.

How this family comes together -their mutual relationship dynamics- the future and what it now holds when the dust settles is all on the plate or in the oven - however, you wish to view it all.

It's a whirlwind -fast paced- thriller that will keep you up long after you finished.

Thank you to Liz, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
