The Wives by Tarryn Fisher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Thursday is married to Seth, and so are two other women. One, “Tuesday,” is the first wife, and then, after “Thursday,” there’s “Monday.” The wives have never and will never meet: that’s Seth’s condition, and they all accept it, because he’s apparently so handsome, dazzling, and amazing that they’re all willing to give up two-thirds of a life with him for that precious third. But Thursday is struggling with jealousy; she constantly thinks about the other women, playing the role of subservient, sexy, abiding, and only mildly curious, but in reality, desperate to know more. So when Seth slips up and leaves a folded receipt in his pocket with the name and an address of a woman, Thursday embarks on her own secret mission to find out more.
A twisty, slinky novel, I devoured it in two days and might have pulled an all-nighter to finish it in one if not for it being on weeknights. Highly recommend!
