This is one of the best books I have ever read. Truly what a story. Once I started it I could not put it down. The ending was jaw dropping as I never saw it coming.

The Wife Before is a fast-paced psychological thriller that kept me interested from the beginning. The story is easy to follow, the tension builds steadily, and there’s always a sense that something isn’t quite right. It’s one of those books that makes you want to keep reading just to see how everything unravels. The twist was unexpected and well done, even though parts of the plot felt familiar if you’ve read a lot of domestic thrillers. The characters were intriguing, though I wished some were developed a bit more. Overall, it’s an entertaining and suspenseful read with a solid twist. A great choice if you enjoy psychological thrillers and want something gripping but easy to get through.

Enjoyed the book.

It was ok. It got a little redundant and in the middle felt like it took longer than it should to get to the point. All in all it had a great twist. Became a real page turner towards the end

I binged this like crazy and finished it in a day! Wow! Shanora Williams delivers a compelling and atmospheric domestic thriller, partially set in my home, Miami, and in Colorado, with “The Wife Before”, weaving suspense, romance, and mystery into an engaging read. From the start, I was drawn into Samira’s and Roland’s worlds, and Williams’ writing style kept me hooked with its smooth, immersive flow. She balances tension and emotion well, creating a story that is both gripping and easy to devour. The plot itself unfolds in an intriguing way, with well-paced twists and secrets that slowly unravel. The characters felt fully realized, and I appreciated the development of Samira’s journey, as well as the psychological depth woven into the story. The theme of uncovering dark truths in a seemingly perfect relationship was handled effectively, making for an addictive read. That said, I found the ending slightly predictable, which took away some of the final punch. While the buildup was strong, I anticipated the direction the story would take before the big reveal. Still, that didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the novel as a whole—Williams crafted a thrilling ride with a compelling premise, layered relationships, and enough suspense to keep me turning the pages. Overall, “The Wife” Before is a well-written and enjoyable thriller, perfect for readers who love stories about secrets, obsession, and the dark side of love. Despite the somewhat foreseeable ending, the journey to get there was more than worth it.
