The Senator's Wife

I knew it was political going into it, and that was definitely my least favorite part of the book and some of that went over my head. I liked the “am I crazy or is someone making me crazy” trope and this book reminded me of Verity mixed with Before I Go to Sleep. One twist got me good: I knew Whit was shady but I never would have expected Athena to be an FBI agent trying to bust Whit. I guess the red herring of her sabotaging Sloane worked on me! There were a few little minor twists that I didn't like as much I didn't like Rosemary's chapters at all and I did not care who was after her. That part could have been left off Good popcorn thriller!

this is fine if you want a thriller that's not very tense, but i found it pretty dull throughout. it was a pretty basic domestic-type thriller with some rich people drama (politicians, congresspeople) but no super juicy drama. got better towards the end but not that riveting as a whole. writing style was weird to me - felt choppy.

3.5 stars. This was a pretty average suspense-thriller novel. The plot kept me interested and the ending was satisfying. There wasn't anything groundbreaking here, just a quick propulsive read.
