The Other Woman

excellent read

La letra es demasiado pequeña y además está muy clara, no se aprecia bien

Adorei o livro uma história fantástica que recomendo 5*

If you are someone who absolutely LOVES when there are twist endings in books, where you did not expect AT ALL the ending, this book is for you! I have never read a book THIS fast and have never been this obsessed with a book before! I read a lot, and this was an amazing book, I recommend 1000%!

Emily is in love. Adam is not only Mr. Right, he is also Mr. Perfect. Her friends are happy for her, and her mom approves of him. Everything is great. And in comes Adam’s mother. Pammie seems lovely at first — but her true self emerges soon enough. Now Emily’s love life is in shambles, and it’s all thanks to the woman she’ll never be able to please. Adam loves his mother, would do anything for her, including siding with her, even when she’s clearly in the wrong. Surely he can see just how manipulative she is — can’t he?So much to unpack here. I won’t get into all of it, so I’ll just get to the most important bits. This book gave me anxiety. I cringed whenever Pammie is in the scene, and I feel for Emily whenever she wants to shake some much-needed sense into Adam. But as annoying as Pammie is, I also find Emily and Adam unbearable at times. Emily’s “blind spot” is infuriating, and after the whole thing with Adam’s younger brother, I just wanted to shake her and say, “Run — don’t walk — as far away from that crazy family as humanly possible!” I mean, seriously, there are plenty of fish in the sea, and she’s hooked on the one with the insufferable mother. Speaking of Adam... This guy. That expression sums up my feelings for him. This. Guy. He seemed like the typical co-dependent son at a glance, but his actions reeked of triangulation. The book’s opening sentence is awesome, because of a key word that stands out like a 300-pound sore thumb. I kept thinking back on it as I read the book, because I knew it would come back, and sure enough...THE OTHER WOMAN is an entertaining — albeit headache-inducing — psychological thriller. Downsides? Several. My frustration with Emily was so huge, that I literally shouted, “B#%&h, use your phone!” She wanted to expose Pammie, but not once does she reach for her phone to record their conversations. She would’ve saved herself a whole lot of grief if she’d done that in, say, a quarter into the book. So this is a glaring error in the book that I just couldn’t ignore. I also find it hard to believe that Pammie managed to fool everyone but Emily. She’s not even subtle most of the time. There’s that scene where Emily tries on her wedding dress. All of her friends and family gush — except for Pammie, who goes as far as to say that the dress is plain. Why no one told her to go home is beyond me. The plot twists are tricky, because it seems, well, far-fetched. If not for the fact that I’ve been around people this terrible, I would have had a great deal of trouble buying into it. Alas, I couldn’t put the book down, so the author must’ve done something right! Pick this up if you can stomach a MONSTER-IN-LAW type of character. Four out of five pumpkin and almonds iced coffee, with extra oat milk.
