The Younger Wife

I read this book from NetGalley and have to say I'm so glad I was asked to review it. Wow, what a gripping story with such well developed characters. I thought I had everything figured out but in the end things were not as they seemed.

This is the story of two sisters Tully and Rachel who are coming to grips with their father Stephen marrying Heather a younger woman. Their mother Pam has severe dementia at a young age and can no longer recognize the family. Each character holds a secret that has caused severe damage to their lives. Tully is a kleptomaniac, Rachel uses food to mask a past pain, Heather is a poor girl from an abusive background trying to make something of herself, and Pam has divulged a very scary secret about their father Stephen.

This book really kept me guessing and once we knew the truth I was blown away. I will recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good dysfunctional family story! Please be aware there may be some triggers as this book deals with assault and domestic violence.
