2 1/2 stars. Very fast-paced, compulsively-readable and, ultimately, ridiculous. I'm not even sure how to organize my thoughts on this book. Did I enjoy it? I must have. I didn't want to tear my eyes away from the page. I felt like I needed to know what was going on. It was, I guess, that special kind of deliciously trashy beach read that is ridiculous, unbelievable, and yet impossible to put down. 2 1/2 stars it is then.It's told from the point of view of a woman whose husband has two other wiv...

i went into this thinking it would be a 5 star read but no baby no this ain't it the first half was super promising but then it went soooooo downhill. it had every cliche thriller trope and there were so many plot holes it didn't even make sensetbh the synopsis of this book is the best thing about it

Confession: I didn’t realize the protagonist’s name was Thursday until the very end of the book.How did I miss that? I mean, it says it right in the synopsis. I honestly thought that was just the day her husband slept with her.And if that statement isn't indication enough, I will just say it, this story was wild. I have to give it credit for being unique.Thursday is married to Seth. Seth has two other spouses. None of the women know one another, but to Thursday's knowledge they are all living in...

what. the fuck.I can’t trust Goodreads reviews anymore because how is this a 4 starred book??!! IM—I think this is another instance where the most of the people who’ve read from this author— are new to the thriller genre and absolutely love it. Not meeeeee.This book’s plot was ridiculous; right to the climax—ridiculous to the point where it’s non-believable. Actually most thrillers are non-believable but there’s a groundness to it, a reality check of plausible believability. But not here, folks....

Three…four….three….four….three…four…Okay stop just give 3.5 rounded up 4 delusional, twist and shout, come on come on come on baby stars! Dear God, it’s me, not Margaret, oh hell no Chelsea( sorry using the `hell` word), this is Nilufer.( you may call me Nily shortly) I honesty, truly, genuinely ask you because I didn’t find the answer. WTF that I just read?( sorry for my language, I already close my mouth but unfortunately my fingers are still functioning) This book is devilish, surprising, a g...

Thursday has spent her entire life not only saddled with an odd name but also poised on the edge. Most recently, she's married the guy of her dreams...only to realize that he has other wives. Something-something-Salt Lake City sorta stuff.And at first, she thought she can handle it. "Monday" and "Tuesday" (as she's nicknamed them) only see her husband a few days a week. But she knows her role - the wild and fun wife - the one who makes a gorgeous dinner and does what he wants. And for a whil

Gosh, I haven’t read a really fantastic thriller for a bit! 🤯 This is one that I couldn’t put down. It kept me guessing throughout and definitely didn’t turn out how I thought it would. 😵 The dramatic polygamous triangle was like reality TV at its finest. 🤗 Definitely recommend this one to my thriller loving friends! ❤️📚

3.5 stars....I really, really wanted to read this book! I had heard so much about it. I got declined for an ARC so what did I do? I ran out and bought it the second I could, and devoured it! So I really loved it...until I did not. This was a really interesting, intriguing, kind of car wreck ..can't look away book, until about the 75% point and then I was like what?! Then it just got too weird, even for me. I can take weird, trust me.So most of this story is from Thursday's POV. Thursday is wife

This book surprised me. A LOT. The first half of it I was sure I was going to LOVE IT, but then... shit happens, and I didn't like the direction it took. But I will say this: I absolutely adore Tarryn's way with words. Her writing only improves with every book!

I read this book a few months back and it was everything I've been waiting for from Tarryn Fisher. Not that she hasn't delivered before, but she OVER delivered with this one. About a day after I read it, my mind was still numb. I needed a distraction, so I asked one of my many sons, "Do you know of any apps that can distract me from this callipygian book I just read?" He said, "TikTok. It's great." I already had a TikTok account, but it's been a couple of years since I logged on. So I took his a...

what fucking bullshit

This story went from super intriguing, to stupid, to boring, to more stupid, and then it became downright terrible.———————————Pre-reading thoughts! 💭 I can’t wait to see how fucked up this is going to get. 😍

Whenever I see anything about plural marriages, I'm always fascinated. Let's be honest, one marriage is hard enough... who's got the energy to sign up for more than one at the same time?Thursday is married to Seth, but he also has two other wives. None of them have ever met or know much about each other. One day, Thursday finds a receipt in Seth's pocket for a woman named Hannah, and she deduces it's one of his other wives. She's so curious and starts digging around. As she does, she realizes th...

**Spoiler**My mind feels razed and not in a good way. This was a clusterfuck (a la Mud Vein) with an unreliable narrator whose psychosis wasn't particularly believable. FRTC

4.5*In your wildest imagination could you ever be content knowing your husband had two other wives? Are you serious?! You don’t know them, you don’t live together. But yet there they are… out there somewhere, sharing time with him. Could you possibly be satisfied with this bizarre relationship?“You say I'm crazy'Cause you don't think I know what you've done.But when you call me babyI know I'm not the only one”. - Sam Smith This was a clever, unpredictable psychological thriller that had me guess...

First half was 3 stars, second half bumped it down to 1 star for relying on a heavy-handed and cheap plot twist and turning into a convoluted and melodramatic soap opera.

CONVOLUTEDThe Wives is a psychological thriller about a woman in a polygamist marriage.Thursday married her dream man. He treats her like gold and is the perfect husband. The only flaw is that Seth happens to have two other wives. Thursday is the second wife and only gets to see Seth on Thursdays (yes, her name matches the day of the week she sees her husband). She endures this arrangement to be with the man she loves. However, when Thursday begins digging for information on Seth’s other two wiv...

"It’s all too perfect, I think. When things are that perfect, something is wrong." Tarryn Fisher is and always will be one of my all time favourite authors because of The Opportunist. Whilst I am a big fan of her romance novels, The Wives was my first attempt at reading one of her psychological thrillers. This review is going to be slightly problematic because this book was both a mindfuck and a clusterfuck at the same time._______________ Dark and Unwavering My first tip for this book wou

you know those great ole' days in school when you didn't do your school project probably because you were so lazy and procrastinating but now you're in trouble, the deadline is near, so you ask some of your friends (or maybe they volunteer) to hAlp. You take different parts of the projects your friends have done, shove them together, give it "your own style" and then present it to your teacher (who btw rolls her eyes)this is what Taryn Fisher has done from characters, to plots and even "Her Lege...

Confessions Of A Twisted Mind- "When things are that perfect, something is wrong." TF is a self-confessed "Swirler of Emotions" and the longer the swirl, the tougher it becomes to separate one from the rest. Much like Thursday, whose life is spinning so fast, that events, accidents, emotions and reality is blurring right in front of her eyes. She's in a consensual relationship with a polygamist and totally acceptable of the Other Two Wives called Monday and Tuesday. "How have I become t...
