This is by far my favorite Book that I have read on Netgalley. The author does an amazing job with allowing the reader the opportunity to get to know the three women as bright, very successful, and strong minded women that got caught up with one con man. It is very easy to do and yet none of the women were portrayed as helpless or victims. I was angry enough to read the whole book in one setting. The ending will blow you away and have you wanting more at the same time. This one needs to be made into a movie.

Thank you to netgalley as well as the author/publisher for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book was disappointing. It had such promise but I found myself waiting and waiting for everything to explode. There was no explosion, more of a small controlled trash can fire. I wanted more revenge, but it wrapped up so quickly. More time seemed to be spent on character development. The first half of the book set up a great storyline but the farther I got in without much more happening the more dissapointed I was.

I adore twisted domestic psychological thrillers like this one - it absolutely destroyed me in the craziest way.

This is a seriously mad novel about three women convenced by one man about his commitment to each of them AT THE SAME TIME.... without knowing about each other at all. Even though they are actually really smart and successful, these women became involved in the web of deceits of one serial liar/cheater/con man/manipulator. Aside from the truly witty plot twists, I loved that fact that the three women, Holly, Jessica, and Lark, were not portrayed by the author as helpless victims, but rather very smart, intelligent and independed professionals. This is what hit it home for me.

What's more, the book picks up steam as it goes, culminating is an unbelievable ending.

Overall, besides its twisted plot and excellent character development, I appreciated the underlying message of this book, namely that being careful is not always enough in creating relationships with other people. The Three Mrs. Wrights is definitely a memorable novel whcih will stick with me for a long time.

This one creeped up on me! Wow! I originally was thinking 4 stars but when I tried to find a negative to justify the missing star I couldn’t find one, so 5 it is! I loved all the characters, and enjoyed how each had their own storyline played out. I like how they crossed at several points too. Until about 50% in I wasn’t sure which side of the character was accurate: their POV or Jon’s. This made the book move quick and kept me interested throughout!


I received an advance copy. All thoughts are my own.

OMG I could not put this down. I stayed up way too late finishing it because it was just so good! Such an interesting plot and so addicting!

Honestly I don't know how Jon could ever keep his three lives and all the lies straight. It's wild! he is so suave but also like once he got caught in a lie I would have been red flag city. I don't know how these women wouldn't have been scarred for life!

As a fellow chicagoan I loved that the setting was so accurate to the real life chicago. You can tell she either lives here or has at one point. I worked by the palmer house, and go to the ashland whole foods. It was so accurate in a good way. The end was so satisfying and I was so happy all three women ended up not only liking each other but having success and happiness.

Thank you to Netgalley, Lake Union Publishing and the Author(s) Linda Keir AKA Linda Joffe Hull and Keir Graff for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I absolutely loved this book and devoured it in one weekend.
This book coins the phrase "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive" to a T
and the way the three strong female protagonists "Mrs. Wrights" are a force to be reckoned with is Kick ass!
I will most definitely be checking out other works by both Authors.

Oh my, what a story! Three women, one man who is impossibly good at lying. This book sucked me right in and I devoured every word.

I liked all the women. I get why they each wanted to believe his ridiculous lies. He was very good at it but he gave them each something they needed at the time and that made it easier to pull the wool over their eyes.

You know at some point in a story like this that the women are going to eventually find out about each other, and I loved how that played out. Absolutely loved it.

Women's fiction readers and book club fanatics, enjoy this scandalous page turner!

This was an interesting book! Jon, Jack - whatever name he is going by is a successful entrepreneur. He has his own business that his wife Holly helped him start. As the years went by and business grew he decided to acquire more wives which Holly was initially unaware of. After looking the other way for years Holly has had enough. As she starts to dig into her husband’s business dealings and his secretive personal life she finds more than she was expecting, including the fact that she isn’t the only Mrs Wright. I thought this book was well done. It definitely kept my interest as I waited for the dominoes to fall.

Honestly, books like this just make me not want to ever date again. I mean, I trust my boyfriend and all, but hell! This story takes place in the eyes of four people - a man, and the three women he's deceiving. It's an all out cluster, but so, so much fun (and also a little too scary).

One of the women - Lark -I found very interesting, and she's probably the one that I could most identify with. When I was reading about the other two women, I almost wanted to skip ahead and get to Lark's part, but I didn't. The whole book is just a good, fun time. Even if it seems a little too good to be true (ha! which is what all these ladies think at some point.

4/5 Stars

Ms. Keir hit it out of the part with this wonderful book that looks at the scheming of one man into the lives of three very different women. This book did a nice job of drawing you in and not portraying the woman as victims that needed to be saved. The book had a very nice flow to it with an ending that left me satisfied with the read.

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me to read this for an honest review.

I received an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review. In all honesty, I thought about this book several times and after getting an ARC, it took me days to start reading it. It intrigued me enough that I kept being drawn back to this particular book. But read it, I did, so don't be like me and let the title throw you off.
This book was intriguing and flowed so smoothly, in fact, I think it flowed as smoothly as the three women's relationships with Mr. Wright until they started realizing things. Then we get to the unraveling and that kept me reading because you never know where we are going. Then came the end and once again the ending was nothing like I thought or ever would have thought.
This book was before, during, and after reading it was nothing I thought it would be but it was a book that amazed me, took me on a journey, and was full of surprises. Very satisfying and oh so smooth.

Amazing - Could not put this book down! So good, such great character development, and loved the ending! Looking now for more books by this author.

I'm super torn on this one. On one hand, I really enjoyed it. Told in 3 distinct voices - you slowly learn the lives of three women, Holly, Jessica and Lark, and how they are intersecting with the same man, Jonathan Mitchell Wright, III. You know up front how these three women connect and can easily see all the dots and connecting pieces (and even the ones that clearly don't.)

But This is not a Mystery. Not a suspense Thriller. I'm completely confused on why the top 7 shelves on Goodreads show this is how people are shelving this. My expectations were for a mystery that absolutely never happened. I knew every step of the way what was going on. The first 80% of the book is just connecting all the pieces of the three lives and watching them unfold - the only mystery is when the parties will know what you already know as the reader.

I found the story easy to read, enjoyable and well written. I would have definitely rated it higher had I had the correct expectations going in to it.

With his businesses and constant travels Jonathan Wright manages to maintain three romantic relationships simultaneously.
From the point of view of the three women (Lark, Holly and Jessica) we can see how these love stories started and how Jon (also know as Trip or Jack) keeps the stories he creates along the way.
In each chapter we follow one of the women, which allow us to see how strong these women are but I confess that I liked Jessica's chapters less because despite being an intelligent woman she is very dependent on Jon and when the whole truth starts to come out she can't keep a few things to herself, giving Jon some trumps.

I also think that sometimes it's given a lot of information that we don't need what makes the reading a little slow but it was a really great read.
⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a good book with quite a few twists and turns. I really enjoyed reading it and I especially liked the story being told from the different perspectives.

Jonathan Mitchell Wright, III is a wealthy man. He is married to Holly, a pediatrician, and they are the parents to three children. Holly is very involved in a charity called Horse Stability for the rehabilitation of displaced horses. Jack is the CEO of Cancura which has developed a way for children to take a chewable vitamin that can detect childhood cancers before any symptoms develop. Holly and Jonathan live in Barrington Hills, a wealthy suburb of Chicago. Sounds like the perfect family, right? Nope. It turns out that Jonathan is a serial cheater. Not just the occasional one night stand. Nope. Jonathan takes things much further.

Jessica is a very intelligent research doctor who was wooed by Jonathan from a lucrative job to work for Cancura. With Jessica, he calls himself Jack and they soon fall into a relationship as he tells her his wife is crazy and they are almost divorced. Then they can marry.

Lark has designed a board game and is looking for someone to front her the money she needs to promote it. She happens to meet Jonathan, calling himself Trip, in a bar. Falling into a relationship, he sets her up in an office and helps her get her game promoted.

Can Jonathan keep these relationships secret as he juggles them? What would happen if this situation came to light?

I always get a chuckle out of stories about men with multiple girlfriends or even multiple wives. I shake my head at the audacity of someone doing that. But in the end, people are left hurt. These guys are total jerks. Good book. Enjoy.

What an intense story! How can Mr. Wright be so wrong?! He makes each woman feel as though they are his only love. How does he keep things straight? How do the women not know about each other? Pick up this book and see how the women give Mr. Wright everything he deserves.

I liked this but didn't love it. There wasn't anything omg worthy, but it was an interesting read. I like the title and the play on words!

Absolutely one of my favorite books of the year! 5 stars. This is not normally my preferred genre. I LOVED it! I will be recommending this to everyone. It was so well written. The multiple perspectives made the story much brighter and realistic. I read this book in 24 hours. I stayed up late reading it. I finished it in the morning and am just floored. So good!

I was a little concerned when I first read the title thinking that this would be just like every other philandering man cheating on his wife and none of the women know. For the most part it stuck to that tale. However I liked the added on layer of the business and financial realm. The inserts of different quotes from Jon and his TED talk were really insightful to the progression of the story.

Another aspect I enjoyed was the different chapters told about the different characters. The ladies offered a unique touch for each of their own lives. I did feel slightly confused by all of the company talk with Cancura and where Jon got all of his money from. The details of his living arrangements seemed a little odd too seeing as how he lived in 2 different homes completely. But he was rarely home and these women just assumed it was all work. So, were they in the relationship for the benefits he added just as much as the ones he gained?

I loved how the authors provided details, but not too many. I liked how they slowly pushed in the inconsistencies and issues with Jon’s stories. It gave it that realistic touch needed with infidelity and multiple relationships. It was a quick read and left you wanting to know when the women would find out. I enjoyed the ending and fast forward view.
