Zoe fainted on her wedding day, and she never knew why. She’s always felt sure something bad happened. Ten years later, she’s going to find out what…

It was supposed to be the happiest day of her life. Zoe was sitting in her hotel room, in her perfect white dress, looking forward to the moment when she would make kind, handsome Toby her husband.

Then, there was a blank.

They said she must have fainted, overcome with emotion. But nothing felt quite right afterward. Did something happen in that missing time?

Now, Toby and Zoe have two beautiful children and a perfect life. They’re planning their ten-year anniversary party for their family and friends. The invitations have been sent, the food ordered. They’re going back to the grand hotel where they got married.

But as the anniversary gets closer, it becomes clear not everyone is looking forward to celebrating. She catches Toby lying about where he’s been. One of her best friends seems to be ignoring her. And someone is spreading stories that might stop the party from happening at all.

Zoe is increasingly sure that she doesn’t have the full story. But does she want to know the truth, if it will destroy everything?

                                                            MY REVIEW:

The Wife by Shalini Boland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Zoe fainted on her wedding day and doesn't remember what happened. 10 years later she wants to know why. She is still looking for her missing sister and that has led her on a goose hunt. But she starts seeing her in town but she is always missing her when she looks for her and the police are no help.
Now, Toby and Zoe have two beautiful children and a perfect life. They’re planning their ten-year anniversary party for their family and friends. The invitations have been sent, the food ordered. They’re going back to the grand hotel where they got married.
All of sudden her sister in law is being cold to her and not returning phone calls. They had always been close. Other mom's at the children's school also seem to be giving her the cold shoulder and she can't figure out why.
Once everything starts coming together you are in for a surprise.
I always enjoy psychological thrillers and this was what I expected to get from it.
Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for a great book to review.
