We hit the ground running with that TERRIFYING opener as we discovered what happened. I was in complete shock! I couldn’t and still can’t believe what I just read. It was well…… shocking!

I can see why Ellie is the way she is now. I sympathise completely, ok well I can’t entirely agree with everything she is doing. But to be honest….I would do the same!!! But she’s losing grip on reality slowly and Michael just isn’t helping!! He’s cold and distant, and play acts in front of friends. How anyone could be expected to be just okay and loved on afterwards and that quick is beyond me!

I am riveted by this! I am eager to read the next one after that ending. Jeez. I don’t want it to go down that route…but I do! Plus it will make things more interesting in the next book, especially with some of the morals that will need to be reviewed.

I am enjoying how this has been serialised it makes it exciting and thrilling. You aren’t sure what will be uncovered before you come to the end! It also makes you feel like you are reading more books!!

Normally I am not a fan of slow paced books but I can’t put this one down. I loved the story and really can’t wait for part 3

These are strange books released in episode format ,they are very quick easy to read ,and it’s filled to brim with paranoia or is it ?.i am currently reading the third having enjoyed the first and this one the second and I surprised myself by actually being interested as didn’t think wd initially grab me as theyare so cheap and at times free to read ,so u are suspicious however I was pleasantly pleased , at this stage I’m still unclear if the hubby is cheating or the wife is unravelling or what the hell will happen with Liam but suspect something will and wow whatever and who ever turn out to be right there is a very clear unhealthy obsession here and may be distraction from her grief by focusing on her husband to focus the pain
Keeps me reading and will request the fourth after the third
Thanks to netgalley and the publishers

I thank Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review........
This is the 2nd part of this 4 part book and I must say I am really enjoying it so far. It's still a slow-paced domestic drama but it is so addictive. I'm completely engrossed. Just about to start part 3....

I read all three of the books in this series one after another hoping to make one good book out of them all but it just didn't happen. The story is not exciting at any stage and could be written as one short story rather than adding all the boring and repetitive padding that all three books had in abundance.
I hate to give such negative criticism but I could not find any redeeming features to the series.Unlikable and unbelievable characters and a plot to match.

This whole series is so gripping, I read all 3 in a day as I couldn't get enough. The characters are incredible, I adore Ellie even though I probably shouldn't. The idea that it's comparable to Docter Foster is spot on. Really recommend these, they'd be perfect for a holiday read on the beach! Or a flight!

I loved this book, I would highly recommend it. It is a real page turner. I couldn’t put it down! I have heard it compared to the Doctor Foster TV show but in my eyes it is even better than that. I can’t wait to read the third part. Five stars from me.

Thanks to Netgalley and ML Roberts for the copy of this book. I agreed to give my unbiased opinion voluntarily.

This is part two of these books, as each book passes, I was trying to guess what was going to happen. but I didn't know what was going to happen next. I think all the characters are mad. but it makes it more thrilling and keeping you in suspense.

Thanks goes to net galley and the publishers for providing me with a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

The Wife – Part Two: For Better, For Worse (The Wife series)
by M.L. Roberts


Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre: general fiction (adult)

Well, part one had me gripped, and part two keeps up the “what is really going on” drama. Is Ellie paranoid, is Michael having an affair or is it all in her head.? I'm not sure I like either of them, she certainly needs help and he comes over as cold, and I just wonder why won't he talk to her? What happened to two people so in love? She steps up her actions to find evidence. I'm thinking one moment yes, he's acting as if he's hiding something and then I'm thinking, what the heck is this woman doing, does she really think that will help?
Now we know what happened I do feel sorry for both, but we still only know barest details. Was it really just an obsessive student out of the blue or had Micheal given her reason to think he felt more for her. Then there's Michael and Ellie's best friend Liam. What does he know? What's his motivation.

There's really not much more revealed, a story line comes in that was pretty clear from book one it was going to be there but other than that its more of the same. And yet its curiously addictive. Lucky I have book three on my kindle....

What I hate though is that this is a four part book that could easily have been a stand alone, and for me waiting breaks the tension, the story loses impact. I had to go back and take a look at part one to recall what had happened. Each part is only around 100 pages, modeled I guess on TV specials which is fine for many readers, but one of the reason I don't watch TV. I want ALL the story, not just teases.

 Stars: Four, curiously addicting even though not much actually happens.

So book 1-  'To Have and to Hold', intrigued me with its skilful buildup of psychological tension and in book 2 - 'For Better, For Worse', the story continues. Ellie's tragic past is revealed, which explains much about her current state of mind and motivation. The story is told entirely from Ellie's point of view, but the actions of others, who touch her life are important to this story. There is a profound, if not unexpected ending, making reading book 3 - 'In Sickness and In Health', essential.
I received a copy of this book from Harper Impulse via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

What can I say this series gets better and better its inquisitive keeps you on your toes and I just had to keep reading it to find out what was going to happen.

I'm loving the characters and didn't want part 2 to end but there is a part three so that's what I'm reading next!

Would like to say thank you to netgalley for giving me the opportunity to review this book.
