Reviews
Hard to get through
2By CeaminiI wanted to like this, but the characters are beyond believe, and the writing is stilted. I can’t imaging anyone acting like the people in this novel. It does not read true.Amazing!
5By RasdawnEnjoyed this book to the fullest! I couldn’t stop turning the next page. Almost disappointed it had to end. Loved her writing style!Just ok
3By Edith ingI bought this book a couple years ago but I just couldn’t get through it. I pushed myself to finally finish it. It’s entertaining but the characters are beyond frustrating. The ending was great however as adults there could’ve been a million and one different opportunities to communicate what needed to be said to avoid a lot of heartache and pain.The other woman
1By noomsucks!I wanted this book to be better but it just was so tedious to read I found myself skipping paragraphs to help move the story on. The whole story is ridiculous and the plot is basically a painful account of what can happen when literally NO ONE has adult communication skills. The “game” the mum played to try to convey a message was ridiculous and could have been conveyed in a 5 min ho eat adult talk. The plot is annoying because the characters are all so completely inept and create senseless drama that even when the reason why is revealed you are left thinking “there were 100 and 20 better ways to handle that situation” the other issue is it get so exhausting going through the long drawn out relationship between Emily and Adam a relationship that never felt real or had any substance and all the characters were people no one would ever want to know let alone respect. Basically a story of idiots who can’t communicate and cause their own drama by acting like incompetent losersEh…
3By RNmorgan2019I had picked this book up to read more than once, it was a hard read for me to get through. But this last time I pushed myself to finish. I feel like it’s about a 2.5 stars both Pammy and Emily are equally immature. The ending I feel like was 2 pages of great story, all smooshed to try and make the book worth. It didn’t do it for me.Ummm
3By Milya1221I didn’t really care for the ending.Worth the read
4By pitt nikkoThe Other Woman was an enjoyable read and kept me wanting to pick it up to keep reading. Nice twist at the end!Unexpected
5By Mywaynichols76I never even guessed what the ending would actually be. Loved it!!I stuck with it, even when I wanted to stop
1By wyomom2I really enjoyed The Guilt Trip, so I thought , read some others. Should have skipped this one! The main character is so mind numbingly frustrating. The whole plot was whiny and really ridiculous, I bought it, so I finished it, but save your money.Over-reliant on stereotypes, unoriginal plot, poorly developed characters
2By gac1218This reads like a freshman attempt at fiction; the set-ups and conflicts are trite and obvious. Couldn’t make it through, too painful. There are too many other books in the world worth reading to continue wasting time on this insipidity.
