"Isn't it so strange that the people we damn near hate are exactly like us?" 

I’m not sure I have many words for this one. I was disturbed by some of the relationships but I understand it’s necessary to the story and reflective of someone’s life, unfortunately. 
Samira made a host of bad decisions in the beginning, but I’m always here for someone finding their purpose.

This was a riveting read.  Lots of tough topics covered but in a realistic way.  The new revelations that came with each chapter just sucked me in to not be able to stop because I needed to know what was coming next.  Unpredictable and overall spinetingling conclusion, The Wife Before is a must read.

Seemed slow and repetitive at times. Interesting twists. 

Audiobook/Audible: Didn't love the reader. Character "voices" seemed inconsistent, even with back to back dialogue.
