Summary
There is no limit to the lies， suspicion， and secrets that can poison the perfect marriage in this twisting novel of suspense by USA Today bestselling author Kaira Rouda。
Kate Nelson had it all。 A flourishing company founded with her husband， John; a happy marriage; and a daughter， Ashlyn。 The picture-perfect family。 Until John left for another woman。 Tish is half his age。 Ambitious。 She’s cultivated a friendship with Ashlyn。 Tish believes she’s won。
She’s wrong。
Tish Nelson has it all。 Youth， influence， a life of luxury， and a new husband。 But the truth is， there’s a lot of baggage。 Namely， his first wife—and suspicions of his infidelity。 After all， that’s how she got John。 Maybe it’s time for a romantic getaway， far from his vindictive ex。 If Kate plans on getting John back， Tish is one step ahead of her。
She thinks。
But what happens next is something neither Kate nor Tish saw coming。 As best-laid plans come undone， there’s no telling what a woman will do in the name of love—and revenge。

The book was okay。 It was a quick read， but the plot was too straightforward and predictable。 The few twists were ones I could see coming。

Page TurnerThis was a great page turner。 The twist at the very end was unexpected。 Love that it was based in Columbus， Ohio。

What a crazy rollercoaster of a book this was！ I disliked the main character， Tish， so much I could have smacked her。 And I never stopped disliking her。 I had a few different theories while reading but didn't expect the ending at all。 Great read！ What a crazy rollercoaster of a book this was！ I disliked the main character， Tish， so much I could have smacked her。 And I never stopped disliking her。 I had a few different theories while reading but didn't expect the ending at all。 Great read！ 。。。more

Light mindless reading， not a particularly innovative book but reads well。

I liked The Next Wife。 This was a good， not great suspense novel。 I just couldn't vibe with the characters and I figured out what was happening pretty much from the beginning。 I didn't like the formatting， to many short meaningless chapters。 I liked The Next Wife。 This was a good， not great suspense novel。 I just couldn't vibe with the characters and I figured out what was happening pretty much from the beginning。 I didn't like the formatting， to many short meaningless chapters。 。。。more

I really liked this author's first 2 books， so I am not sure what happened here。 This one just didn't do it for me。 Too bad， because I was really looking forward to reading this。 I really liked this author's first 2 books， so I am not sure what happened here。 This one just didn't do it for me。 Too bad， because I was really looking forward to reading this。 。。。more

Fun read！ This has some great back and forth between the characters。 Each chapter is devoted to either Tish who is the new wife， Kate who is the old wife or Ashlyn who is the daughter。 John has done them all wrong。 He is planning to leave Tish for Kate just as he left Kate for Tish。 Ashlyn feels betrayed by him and hates having a stepmom so close to her own age。 Who kills who？ Well， read the book and you will know。 I love the way I was kept guessing right to the very end！

Not a satisfying readI like the different narration approach but don’t like how Terry Jane （？） was portrayed so clueless and simple minded and how they just randomly shared their “secrets” to each other。 Not a fan of the ending either。

Twisted taleEach character’s thoughts， words and actions propel this story from begin to end。 The plot seems simple but the real story keeps the reader guessing。

Made it 30%。 Then quit。 I just kept losing interest。 No one I cared enough about to keep reading。 Not horrible， just didn't keep me drawn in。 Made it 30%。 Then quit。 I just kept losing interest。 No one I cared enough about to keep reading。 Not horrible， just didn't keep me drawn in。 。。。more

John never had a chance！Two women scorned is a recipe for disaster。 John was doomed the minute he crossed that line with his first wife。 The story is interesting and comes from two perspectives， the first wife and the second wife。 Adding to the tension is a fortune at stake。 The end was not a total surprise but the vehemence was。 Good read。

This might be the worst book I've ever read。 The plot was extremely predictable。 The language was repetitive at best， boring at worst。 The characters were flat and undeveloped。 The story was told from the viewpoints of these characters， but their voices were indistinguishable from each other。 The same thoughts were repeated over and over and over， until I wanted to throw the Kindle up against the wall。 Worst waste of money EVER。 This might be the worst book I've ever read。 The plot was extremely predictable。 The language was repetitive at best， boring at worst。 The characters were flat and undeveloped。 The story was told from the viewpoints of these characters， but their voices were indistinguishable from each other。 The same thoughts were repeated over and over and over， until I wanted to throw the Kindle up against the wall。 Worst waste of money EVER。 。。。more

If you are looking for a deep and meaningful story， you will not find it here。 This is a light and pretty silly book about sociopaths。 I gave it two stars because I wanted to find out who the killer was。

Wonderful readKeeps you on your toes for sure。 Well written and the suspense keeps you locked in and you will read it in one day。

This was a fun book， but what a guilty pleasure—I felt like I snacked on too many Oreos at the end。 Pretty cheesy writing and characters as one-dimensional as a straight line， but I had to keep reading！ This book reads fast as you see the first and second wife battle it out with each other。 Good trashy reality-TV entertainment。

This book is what it is。 Dumb stereotypically acting middle age successful male。Bitter first wifeYoung， nasty， I want it all second wife， mentally unstable， and from the south and abused， I think that ticks all the boxes。Spoiled childYou are pretty sure how the book will end from the very beginning。 None of the characters have any real depth， and nothing really happens in most of the book。All that being said it is still entertaining， just not very deep and pretty predictable。

This book chronicles the strife between a man's first wife and his second wife。 They both plot against one another。 I liked the devious， tricky elements， but none of the characters really stood out。 They were rather bland。 It was a fun， easy read， but nothing too exciting。 This book chronicles the strife between a man's first wife and his second wife。 They both plot against one another。 I liked the devious， tricky elements， but none of the characters really stood out。 They were rather bland。 It was a fun， easy read， but nothing too exciting。 。。。more

Keeps you guessingI had a little trouble getting into the book at first bc I disliked the 2nd wife so much。 But once into it I couldnt put it down。 Even when you thought you had it figured out there is another twist。 Great read！

This was an Amazon “first reads” choice and I was immediately sold upon reading the description。 Terrible people doing mean things to each other？ Sign me up！ The story centers on Kate and Tish， the former being the first wife and business partner of John， and the 2nd being John’s current and much younger wife。 Tish and John have been married a few years now and she suspects he is losing interest。 Kate is still highly angry that John left her to begin with。 What follows is a twisty tale where it’ This was an Amazon “first reads” choice and I was immediately sold upon reading the description。 Terrible people doing mean things to each other？ Sign me up！ The story centers on Kate and Tish， the former being the first wife and business partner of John， and the 2nd being John’s current and much younger wife。 Tish and John have been married a few years now and she suspects he is losing interest。 Kate is still highly angry that John left her to begin with。 What follows is a twisty tale where it’s difficult to determine who the real villain is。 No one in this book is terribly likeable but Tish is the worst of the worst。 You will spend the book frustrated with her to no end， but also quickly turning pages to see what happens next。 The story is well crafted， with clues dropped throughout。 I thought I had it all figured out but there was a twist that led me another direction， followed by another twist that led me back to the first direction。 I was never truly sure until it was all revealed。Overall， I liked the book and I would definitely recommend it to those who like domestic suspense and mysteries！ 。。。more

Kaira Rouda fires this one at us like a rocket， doing the nearly impossible， creating ruthless characters we hate and love at the same time。 The secrets in The Next Wife are a Gordian knot that only we readers can untie。 If you love books that leave you with chills， The Next Wife should be your next main course。
