Thursday’s husband, Seth, has two other wives. She’s never met them, and she doesn’t know anything about them. She agreed to this unusual arrangement because she’s so crazy about him.
But one day, she finds something. Something that tells a very different—and horrifying—story about the man she married.
What follows is one of the most twisted, shocking thrillers you’ll ever read.
I seriously don’t know what I just read. And honestly, I’m not sure if I can process whether or not I liked it.
This book is such a strange story, full of twists you never see coming. Normally I would enjoy that, but the amount of unreliable information is so abundant, I feel like I never grasped the story to begin with.
Thursday has a husband who has many wives, two other ones to be exact. As she starts investigating them and then contacting them, we see her life begin to unravel. But is it Seth’s doing or her own?
Thursday was vulnerable and insecure, a perfect person for someone like Seth to pray on. He made her feel special and she ate it up, so much so that she was fine with this polyamorous relationship. I’m not judging, many people make it work. It’s not a lifestyle I would choose but I have a general understanding that it is, like any lifestyle, something all parties must be completely on board with. It is so obvious that Thursday is def. Not On Board with this plan anymore.
And there things begin to unravel.
I can’t give anything away but I do want to say that the descent into Thursday’s worst nightmare is a compulsive read. I read it in two days and was eager to know what happened. That said, it seemed like the ending was so different than the beginning.
The overall tone of the book is very scattered and creepy, just like Thursday. She is the perfect wife, baker, cooker, sexy woman until, suddenly she isn’t. And her fall is hard.
The book was intriguing and the writing was fast paced. I would have liked a more complete ending though, something more satisfying.
