The Other Woman

Allie Herrington

Librarian: This feels like the kind of book that will be popular with the mystery/suspense/psychological thriller crowd. Fans of books like Gone Girl, Girl on a Train, etc. should enjoy this one. It feels like the type of book that will become the focus of book clubs, so stock up on multiple copies.
Reader: Another day, another psychological novel, with a slightly unstable, not totally reliable female narrator and a (not particularly logical)"twist" ending. I'm honestly getting kind of sick of this book. It's starting to feel like writers aren't allowed to have any other type of protagonist. And well I love having an ending that surprises me, it would be nice if the end felt even slightly logical. This one doesn't. Instead it just feels like an attempt to be trending. I will be VERY glad when this trend ends.

           I loved this book until the end. What was that?!! It made no sense to me. Why did Pammie even begin the cancer charade then? So many unanswered questions about her behavior. It felt like a twist was added just for the sake of a twist.

Oh man, Pammie! She was quite a character!! I really really thought the ending was going to go in a completely different direction but I am pleasantly surprised at the twist! It was a lot happier than expected. 

The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I got super annoyed with Emily and her seemingly ignorance of Adam’s true nature. SO many red flags that would have sent a normal girl running for the hills. I also found myself constantly asking where Seb was! I wanted more of his presence- it was comforting. 

I am impressed with the story line, though, and I will most likely not turn down another book by this author.
