The Wife

I enjoyed the book overall but I do think that the eventual revelation that the women were lying, while maybe necessary to keep the twists coming and reveal the _big twist (which was an interesting if not entirely unpredictable one), wasn’t really twisty itself and is obviously problematic. I spent a lot of the book wondering if the author would reveal their politics, and while I don’t think the twist is an endorsement, it builds up these women to a real extent, somewhat intelligently presents all the things people tell themselves so as not to believe the victim, while presenting them in a way that seems to indicate it’s not a great thing… and then says “yep that’s right they weren’t a victim” and that sucked
