The Pretend Wife


This is probably the best book I have read in about a month (I have a feeling I am missing one from September, but oh well). This isn't to say that it's the best book ever written, but it was better than I expected - especially with that cover.
It talks about taking the easy route in life rather than choosing risk, and where that can lead. I enjoyed the characters and I found the protagonist to be relatable. I think the best part was that she wasn't good or evil, but trying to make the best decisions using the information she had.
It reminded me a lot of a fairly recent book of Emily Giffin's called something like Love the one you're With or something like that (too lazy to google). Similar subject matter, but I would argue a bit more true to life. It lacked a sense of humour to any large degree, but other than that it was a pleasant read that I enjoyed.
