Relation During Books The Silent Wife
At the moment, I am wearing my book reviewing outfit of jeans and a t-shirt, but soon I will change into some sweatpants to take a nap on the couch under the window that looks out onto the sprawling landscape of my driveway. Then I will put on a smart pair of yoga pants and a crisp k-way jacket to get some groceries. When I get back, having bought only food that I enjoy because that's who the world revolves around, I will change into my coffee-making outfit consisting of whatever little dress still fits after a couple of kids and a sedentary winter, with some cute uggs because my feet are so darn cold, but will change again before we eat some adorably twee appetizer of something creamy on a cracker, and then will change just one more time before dinner into something that I know my husband will love. If anybody in my house does anything to disrespect or displease me, I will say not a thing because, control, but will be plotting some half-assed passive-agressive revenge whilst smiling, making lunches and making my entire generation seem petty, privileged, and downright insufferable.If you could get through this review, I suppose you could get through the book.

Meh. This book was ok. It was intriguing enough to keep me reading and invested in the characters, but I felt like I spent the entire book waiting for something big, shocking, game changing to happen. The pace really didn't pick up until the last quarter. The rest of this review is going to be full of spoilers - so don't read if you haven't read the book. Sorry. I'm not sure how to remove from my phone. You have been warned. Things I disliked about this book...Maybe I missed something. But whatSorry, but this is not a chilling psychological thriller. It's a literary exploration of what happens when people get comfortable and let life just happen to them. Parts of it were actually quite good. But sticking the phrase "a few short months are all it will take to make a killer out of her" on the first page doesn't make a book a thriller, not when there's nothing else sustaining the suspense through the majority of the book. It's not bad, but it's definitely been mis-marketed. Plenty of
I started out sorry I'd bought this book. I was looking for something that would be a break from the heavy stuff I'm otherwise reading and that would also be a cut above the usual escape fare (why is that so hard??). The first couple of paragraphs were really tough. So recursive. There's a view of a vista, a delineation of a line, an arc that encircles, etc. I thought, well, the writer seems smart. Maybe this is deliberate and is meant to represent the character in some way, and indeed it does
This is a disturbing book. Some might take pure delight in this. The Silent Wife is a disturbing book. There is also something if not quite delightful, alluring in its unpleasantness. Disturbing as you cant quite like anyone except, the dog, Freud, aptly named; or anything that transpires in this dark tale of a marriage or a non-marriage really. And yet I certainly found The Silent Wife compelling, reading on, wanting to see where this train wreck of a story would go. The Silent Wife is thought
A tightly wound psychological drama that I read in one sitting. Recommend.
3.5 stars !This was a taut psychological thriller that was well-researched and with a slow unfolding of the dynamics of two very narcissistic individuals....the wife (a psychotherapist with obsessive tendencies) and the husband (immature businessman) and the slow death of their marriage that was fragile and empty to begin with.Both characters were quite unlikable but they were infused with a complexity that compelled you to read forward and see what would happen next. I also liked the Adlerian
**Received from Goodreads first reads giveaway.This was a great psychological book. It is the story of a 20 year common law marriage (and both parties) falling apart. We witness the disintegration of their relationship through both Jodi and Todd's point of view. We see how they rationalize, excuse, cope and justify their behavior. Todd is a habitual cheater and Jodi is aware but never confronts him on it but always lets him know that she will be there for him waiting with elegant meals and
