My Thoughts
I recently finished reading “The Wife’s Mistake.” Sadly, it wasn’t very good. The concept of the story was good, but it could’ve been better.
My big problem with this book was that the characters didn’t grow or change. The main character is thought to have a perfect life but is always afraid and suspicious. But, the reasons behind her worries are only partially examined or explained.
Also, the story seemed easy to guess and needed new ideas. The discovery of a secret message and the main character’s wish to hide her secrets was overdone. It did not offer anything new in the thriller kind of story. The pace of the book might have been faster; this was sort of a slow burn.
The writing style could have been better, but nothing significant. The writing needed to be deeper, which made it hard to get into the story.
Ultimately, “The Wife’s Mistake” could have been good. But it just needed to deliver better. Not having enough character development, an easy-to-see storyline, and okay writing stopped me from enjoying this book thoroughly.
Thank you to Bookouture, and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.
