The storyline gripped me from the start.
Enough twists and turns to keep me reading.
Sadly further down the line i just lost interest and found the whole story getting ridiculous.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

Thank you to Netgallery and the publisher for this ARC. The publication date is 2nd Dec. This story makes you really question your family and the secrets they keep!

The story alternates between Ramona and Natasha which I enjoyed the different perspectives.

I found the plot to be intriguing, suspenseful and gripping a perfect book for psychological thriller readers alike!

I didn’t like Bradley as a character at all and the twist oh my god I gasped I’m still thinking about it, it was mind blowing!

I’d highly recommend this book!

Thank you NetGalley and Celestial Bear Publishing for an early copy of The Perfect Ex-Wife. I did like the stories going back and forth, especially Natasha’s story which was intriguing. The writing was a bit juvenile, but it kept my interest. Both women characters were whacked, their flaws were wide open and I could see it in each chapter. I couldn’t figure out if I liked Bradley or not and I still don’t know. It was a fast read which I liked.

MY GOODNESS. I loved this book, and it is one of the few 5 stars I've given this year. It kept me interested from the beginning and the TWIST.
Ramona was the most annoying woman throughout the book, but she was 100% believable as just the over-the-top loving wife/step mom so I can't even complain about that.
Highly recommend this!
Thank you to NetGalley and Celestial Bear publishing for this ARC ebook for my honest review.

2.5 stars rounded up to 3. This is a new to me author. The blurb sounded good so I thought I'd give this a try. This was not a thriller. It was more of a mystery and drama. The POV and timeline shift between Ramona present and Natasha past. Ramona is currently married to Bradley. Ramona has always wanted the perfect life. Perfect home, perfect husband, perfect marriage. Allison is Bradley's daughter from his first marriage to Natasha. Ramona tries everything to get Allison to like her. The issue is Natasha. Natasha disappeared 12 years ago and was presumed dead. Bradley then married Ramona. However, she never lived up to perfect Natasha. She is constantly competing with the ghost of the ex wife for love, attention, and Bradley and Allison still have the master bedroom in the house just as it was left when Natasha disappeared. Bradley frequently, in conversation, calls Natasha the love of his life. I thought at first I was going to like this book. About half way through I couldn't wait to be finished reading it. Ramona's behavior is totally over the top with her need to get Allison and Bradley to love her. Frankly, it was annoying. I mean, if he's still in love with his missing wife, why stay with him?

The book was well written. However, by 75 percent it took a really crazy turn and I really just couldn't suspend reality that much. The characters were all very unlikable. Not only that, they were unrelatable. I really wish Goodreads had a half point rating system.

Thank you to Netgalley and Victory Editing for the ARC. I greatly appreciate it. I do not recommend this book.

I really did like this book to start with. It was intriguing, suspenseful and grabbed my attention.
However, I found Ramona's behaviour a little over the top.
The book is written from Ramona's POV in the present, and Natalie's POV in the past.

Like I said, I enjoyed the book to start with, but the ending was unbelievable.

3/5 stars from me

Thanks to Netgalley and Celestial Bear Publishing for the opportunity to read this book.

This needs to be a Netflix series, like yesterday!! It was so good! It drew me in from chapter one, and I could not put it down! Well done Winter K. Willis. I'd love to meet for coffee to talk about your next book, because I can't wait! Thanks for the fantastic read.

I really enjoyed this book. It seemed to have a lot of twist and turns. However, I was disappointed with how it all came together, and you can. Not only with the content of the final twist, but would be lack of buildup laying the ground for that risk to occur. Thank you at Gal, the author and publisher For this opportunity. I look forward to reading more of these authors books in the future!
