At forty years old, she has an enviable life: a successful career, stunning looks, a beautiful house in the suburbs, two healthy children, and most importantly, an ideal husband, whose wealthy background allows her to transcend her own social class. After fifteen years together, she is still besotted with him. But she’s never quite sure that her passion is reciprocated.
Determined to keep their relationship perfect, she meticulously prepares for every encounter they have, fueling an obsessive love that drives her to watch him attentively, testing him to make sure that he still loves her just as much as he did when they first met.
Until one day she realizes she may have gone too far . . .
“Fans of Caroline Kepnes’ You or Gillian Flynn will find My Husband to be a new, satisfying, and unnerving take on the relationship-suspense genre.” —Booklist (starred review)

Finished In A Day
Gripping. Unexpected. Gritty. Insane. A good read if you want to understand the inner machinations of a mentally unstable narrator. Relatable at times, yet not overzealous. I couldn’t put it down.
Interesting!
This book is like being submerged in someone else’s mind. I found it interesting and did not see the end coming. 4.5 stars!
Not worth it
I had very high hopes for his book as the beginning of it was really gripping. However the more i read it, the more I questioned where this book is headed. I kept hoping there would be some point to it, but nothing. It’s honestly kind of psychotic how the wife is obsessed with her husband to that capacity. I was really excited to read this book but it was a total disappointment.
