The Good Wife
Appearances can be deceiving… After a whirlwind romance and three years of marriage, I’d tried to be a good wife.
My husband Tom is always watching, controlling my every move. He chooses my clothes, my hairstyle, even instructing what and how much I’m allowed to eat – just ten mouthfuls.
I’ve become isolated from those I love, forbidden to work and stuck at home to fulfil his every whim. My identity along with my life is long gone. I am slowly suffocating but I know Tom will never, ever let me leave alive.
But a chance encounter with Savanah changes everything. Tom just couldn’t tear his eyes away from her. I hoped she might be my saviour. What if I asked for her help? Paid her to steal my husband away? Could my husband’s desire for another woman be the answer to my prayers, to my freedom?
Bestseller Gemma Rogers is back with another gripping, page-turning thriller. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell

"The Good Wife" promises a thrilling domestic suspense however it fell short of the empowering story I was hoping for. While I thought Gemma Rogers did a good job portraying Tom's character, the execution of Cloe's escape plan was hard for me to buy into and lacked that sense of dread needed to propel the story forward. In today's heightened awareness surrounding domestic abuse, some actions and motivations of the characters were hard to buy into.
Despite these shortcomings, I thought the story offered moments of intrigue, which had me click the pages to see how it all turned out for Cloe.

One of my favourite authors and I know last time I said the same as will say now….this is the their best book to date 😊
Meet Tom
Controlling ,bullying, demanding part sociopath,part narcissist and a sprinkling of psychopath husband of Chloe
I read many characters who can be classed as ‘love to hate’ but Tom is up there as one of the best (worst)
He is manipulative,devious and calculating
However he is not quite as untouchable as he thinks and Chloe not quite as timid as she pretends and when Tom thinks he has found an outlet for his desires he doesn’t have a clue the pandoras box he is about to open
I was cheering Chloe on throughout and equally loathing Tom on every page
It is so well written,pulled me in 100% and kept me there as NEEDED to keep reading to find out just who wins and how
Flawless in every way, a truly great read.

This is a thriller through and through. And while I read this quickly, and my stomach was in knots for much of the read, this has a spice level a bit too high for me. There are certainly more explicit books out there, but this is most definitely not closed door, and as such, not for me.
However, if you don’t mind spice, this is well-written, and Ms. Rogers really knows how to write suspense. My stomach hurts! My heart went out to Chloe, and I actively rooted for her from the first few pages. As soon as I read about the “rule of ten”, I knew exactly what kind of man Tom was.
Fair warning: there’s a lot of despicable behavior in here. There’s abuse, SA, and domestic violence galore.
If you see signs of abuse, please speak up!! I know there are women and men out there who are trapped in abusive relationships. Let’s help each other. Abusers isolate their victims. Make sure that your loved one knows that she/he can always count on you to be there for them, no matter what. You may just be their lifeline to get out.
I received an advance copy from NetGalley and Boldwood Books (thank you!), and all opinions expressed are my own.

Your typical domestic thriller, but with atrocious punctuation and caricature characters. Reminded me of Behind Closed Doors, but a bootleg version.
Good:
• Touches on difficult topics such as abusive relationships and violence against sex workers. There's room for improvement but I appreciate the intention nevertheless.
Bad:
• The writing was bland and overly passive: Lots of 'I did this, I did that'.
• The plot was thin and predictable: I kept waiting for the big explosion and twist that never came.
• None of the relationships had any development: Hard to see or buy why some people bonded more than others.
• The characters were stereotypical and one-dimensional: Tom's POV was super laughable and didn't sound like a realistic human being. Savannah showed some promise and spark, but alas.
I expected this to be WOW after all the stellar reviews but the only thing that wowed me was how it has one of the worst use of punctuation I've ever seen in a book and the lack of editing. Not just occasionally but throughout the whole novel... yikes. It was grating and spoiled the reading experience for me.
There were also too many loose ends. The only upside is that this was a breezy and fast read, but only because it has not much substance.
Thank you Boldwood Books for the Netgalley ARC.

Tom is a complete narcissist, trying to control everything in his marriage. His wife, Chloe, has been emotionally abused for years.
At Tom’s company party he learns he has won the raffle… $5000 and a liaison with a high-priced escort… wink, wink.
Chloe finds out about the liaison and her husband’s continued relationship with Samantha, the escort. Chloe goes to Samantha and says she will pay her to get her husband to fall in love with her.
This book is a true page turner. Told from all three perspectives, it really kept me guessing.
Warning: a high level of spice with way too many specific sex scenes for me.
I’m still going to read everything this author writes! :)

The Good Wife is an absolutely unputdownable domestic thriller and it had me utterly captivated right from the very start. This was a book that I found myself so absorbed in that I honestly couldn’t put it down . I just had to know how the whole situation was going to end. I had so many theories going through my head. Tom was one of the most despicable characters I have ever come across and I just wanted to shout out to his wife Chloe to run ! There were other characters to some nice and others not so nice. Packed full of tension and drama this is one book that is going to stay in my mind for quite a while. From start to finish this is a complete page turner and I think one of the best I’ve read by Ms Rogers.

I absolutely devoured this book. I loved everything about it. It just pulls you right in and doesn't let go till the very last page. Excellent well written characters and everything is finalized at the end of the story. Definitely all the stars from me.
Thanks to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for an early release of this book.

Solid read. I always get sucked into the stories of the horribly controlling and abusive husband and the woman trying to flee. Shockingly though, I really liked reading about Savannah, the escort. The books switches perspective between Savannah - the escort, Chloe - the trapped and abused wife, and Tom - the controlling, disgusting, husband. It all starts at a party for Tom’s company where he wins the raffle ticket. Well you don’t just win a bonus but an evening with Savannah. Tom likes that and goes back for more. Chloe finds out and starts paying Savannah to make him fall in love with her. Savannah then starts to see Tom’s true colors and becomes afraid of him and afraid for Chloe’s life. Chloe has tried to leave several times and always gets caught or tricked. On the evening of the last company party, Tom (who is planning on killing his wife and running away with the insurance money and Savannah) uses Savanah’s services and leaves her tied up in the bedroom. When he comes out, it appears she has been killed. (Fun fact she ends up okay! Whew!) Tom tries to take Chloe and run but it doesn’t work. He goes down for attempted murder. He’s locked away, Chloe moves in with her parents, she gets better mentally and physically, she stays friends with Anita, and she starts dating Ben. The end.
I felt like the epilogue was rushed and too much was crammed into it. I would have preferred a bit more to the story to watch it all unfold.
Also all signs point to Anita as the one who actually hurt Savannah to frame Tom.

This audiobook was kind of evil and revenge book. I mean sometimes I hate listening about weak women but it all works out in the end!

I’m finding myself completely consumed with the thrillers Gemma Rogers writes. Can’t wait to read more; if you’ve not checked out her books yet, I definitely recommend that you do!
Loved this story of a woman finding her strength despite the disgusting control her husband tries to use to dictate her life.

Review for 'The Good Wife' by Gemma Rogers.
Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Gemma Rogers, Boldwood, Book & Tonic, Bold Book Club and Rachel's Random Book Tours .
Publication date 5th March 2024
This is the second book I have read by this author. I have also read 'The Flatmate' which I would also highly recommend.
This novel consists of 105 chapters and an epilogue. The chapters are short in length so easy to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case!
'The Good Wife' discusses some topics that may upset some readers or may not be suitable for others. I like to point this out ahead of time in my reviews so you can judge if this book is for you or not. In this book Gemma discusses adultery, manipulation and domestic abuse.
Absolutely loved this fast paced, gritty and unputdownable psychological thriller filled with emotions and secrets!!!
This book is fantastically written with vivid descriptions that absolutely grip the readers attention and puts them right in the middle of it all making your heart pound and you constantly second guessing.
Another huge success by the fantastic Gemma!!! This book had me hook, line and sinker from the first page and I could not put it down!!! Every time I said one more chapter it ended on a cliffhanger and I just had to know what was going on!!! This kept on happened over and over until before I knew it I had devoured the whole book in one sitting!! If you are going to read this then clear your day because it is truly unputdownable. I started this this morning and finished it at approx 2pm, reading it in one sitting. This book tells the story of Chloe who is fed up off her husband's controlling ways. When Chloe finds a possible way to escape her husband with the help of Savannah she grabs the opportunity and hopes for the best. However, things never are as simple as they seem and with an addictive gripping storyline filled with blackmail, adultery, the rich, an escort, suspense, abuse, tension and an ending you wont see coming this is one book to sink your teeth into!! Gemma weaves this fantastic and unique storyline perfectly taking the reader on a rollercoaster ride through the eyes of Chloe, Tom and Savannah ensuring they can see and feel everything that each of them are doing. Will Chloe be able to escape Toms clutches? Will Savannah be able to escape her current life? Will Tom get what he wants? Well, grab your copy of this action packed suspense filled page turner now to find out!! The ending left me mind blown and still not 100% on who did what which has left me still thinking about it hours after I put the book down which is definitely a sign of a fantastic author!! It is ram packed with twists, turns and surprises you'll never see coming. I definitely didn't and I have read hundreds of crime and psychological books so a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS Gemma!!! It is getting harder and harder to surprise me but you managed it in this successful, chilling and page turning psychological thriller!!! Gemma's fantastic and evocative writing skills ensures you are sucked into the lives of the characters feeling your heart pounding and the hair on your arms raise. This book is rammed with suspense and tension and will keep you biting your nails, on the edge of your seat with your heart pounding while your flipping the pages because you just cant stop. I loved the fantastic ending that left me wanting to pick up more of Gemma's books and get stuck straight in.
Clear your schedules before sinking your teeth into this epic thriller as once you've started you wont be able to stop turning the pages until you've devoured it in one sitting!
The authors evocative writing skills brings each of the characters to life and leaves you feeling that you are standing next to them as their story unfolds and lives start to tumble around them. Each of the characters were realistic, unique, well rounded and strong characters which makes it a realistic read. Gemma uses multiple protagonists so we get to see the story told through the eyes of Chloe, her husband Tom and Savannah. Gemma does an absolutely amazing job of weaving their storylines together ensuring it is a smooth read while making sure the reader gets to see everything that the main characters are doing and how they are feeling, up until a certain point. I absolutely despised Tom who is a chauvinistic, disgusting, abusive piece of …. well, I'm sure you can get my drift without me getting myself banned from sites for using certain word! He absolutely made my skin crawl and I despised him!! My heart went out to Chloe and my heart broke for her. Unless you have been in that position then it is easy for people to say to just leave but it is not always that easy. i was rooting for her from the start. I also really liked Savannah who was just trying to get through her studies through means that she knows. Again, many people would despise what Savannah is/does but at the end of the day she is single and does not make anyone do anything they do not want to. I was pleasantly surprised as I wasn't a fan of her immediately with her attitude towards Chloe on their first meeting but she grew on me and I came to like and respect her. Chloe is such a relatable character and I really hoped both herself, her friend Anita and Savannah would each get their happy endings. Whether they do or not, well I cant tell you that can I? There were many more characters weaved into the storyline and I must admit many of them were unlikeable from the rich and snobby housewives to the disgusting cheating men. I normally struggle to get into books where there are so many despicable characters but Gemma creates such an amazing storyline with these characters that I love to hate them and I loved the book from beginning to end! I don't want to risk saying more about how I felt about the characters as I don't want to give anything away to future readers but I will say that I was annoyed, angry, upset, disappointed, disgusted, pleased and more at the different ones for many different reasons!! Gemma really does bring the characters emotions to life and feeds them directly to the reader with her fantastic writing skills. Regardless of whether you love them or hate them they each played their parts perfectly!!!
Congratulations Gemma on yet another addictive, chilling, page turning psychological thriller with an ending I did not see coming! i cannot wait to get hooked into your next guaranteed page turner!!
Make sure you read to the very end of the book to read the prologue of Gemma's 'The Flatmate' which I have actually read myself and would highly recommend!!
Overall an addictive and gripping emotional rollercoaster of secrets, family, suspense, tension and everything you could want in a gripping thriller!!
356 pages.
This book is just £1.99 to purchase on kindle, free with kindle unlimited and £9.99 in paperback via Amazon which I think is an absolute bargain for this book!!!

** Please note: I did not complete this book because of the content which I found triggering. However I have still rated it highly because it is well written and sensitively handled.**
TRIGGER WARNING: coercive control and abuse
Appearances can be deceiving...in a marriage of control, can she break free...?
Before I begin, I have to say I love Gemma Rogers and always eagerly await her next thriller. And this one was no different...until I began reading it. Unfortunately the content was too triggering for me to complete it and I found myself tossing it aside in anger, my blood boiling. I would have loved to finish it but I just couldn't. Coercive control and abuse is something that is a little too close to home for comfort for me and while I can usually read them with an open mind, this time I just found it too confronting and close for comfort to occupy the same headspace.
The story tells of Chloe, the good wife, who after a whirlwind romance with Tom three years before he whisked her away to the Seychelles for what she discovered was a surprise intimate wedding for them both. Only later did she realise it was a tactical move on Tom's part to stop anyone from stepping in and putting a stop to the wedding. Tom had carefully moulded Chloe into the perfect wife he wanted who would see to his every need as and when he required. She was essentially at his beck and call.
Chloe had been an editor at a successful publishing house but Tom soon put a stop to that too. And moved them out of London to a sleepy village in Sussex where she could devote every minute of the day to him alone. He expected nothing but perfection in keeping house and having his meals on the table as soon as he walked in the door. He chose her clothing, what she ate and how much, isolated her from her friends and limited her contact with anyone outside of his carefully curated bubble. After ruining her previous phone, he bought her a new one but loaded it with spyware so that he could track her movements, her browsing history and her call log. He entered only two numbers into the list of contacts - his own and her mother's...only he changed her mother's number by a digit or two thus preventing her from contacting her family.
And then one night they were attending a Director's dinner for the company Tom worked for when Chloe met Savannah. She was a stunning redhead and Chloe knew right away that Tom would not be able to resist her, knowing his weakness for redheads (despite her being blonde). And so Chloe puts a plan in motion to enable Savannah to steal Tom's heart, if not other parts of his anatomy, thus leaving Chloe free to leave him once and for all.
As soona s Tom sees Savannah, it is lust at first sight. He wins an hour with her at the dinner in a raffle, and after that he is smitten. He spends most of his waking moments lusting after her, thinking about her and their time together. He continues to seek out Savannah unaware of the plan his wife, whom he believes to be an open book where he is concerned, has set in motion.
How will it all end?
Unfortunately I didn't see how it ended up but I'm sure there were plenty of fireworks as there were bound to be where Tom was concerned. He was the most despicable character, unlikeable in every way and I wanted to smash his face in. Gemma Rogers did handle to the topic of coercive control and abuse sensitively but for me it was just too close for comfort. But I still rate it up there as a great read, from what I did reach. Just be aware that the content may be triggering for some.

TRIGGER WARNING: coercive control and abuse
Appearances can be deceiving...in a marriage of control, can she break free...?
Before I begin, I have to say I love Gemma Rogers and always eagerly await her next thriller. And this one was no different...until I began reading it. Unfortunately the content was too triggering for me to complete it and I found myself tossing it aside in anger, my blood boiling. I would have loved to finish it but I just couldn't. Coercive control and abuse is something that is a little too close to home for comfort for me and while I can usually read them with an open mind, this time I just found it too confronting and close for comfort to occupy the same headspace.
The story tells of Chloe, the good wife, who after a whirlwind romance with Tom three years before he whisked her away to the Seychelles for what she discovered was a surprise intimate wedding for them both. Only later did she realise it was a tactical move on Tom's part to stop anyone from stepping in and putting a stop to the wedding. Tom had carefully moulded Chloe into the perfect wife he wanted who would see to his every need as and when he required. She was essentially at his beck and call.
Chloe had been an editor at a successful publishing house but Tom soon put a stop to that too. And moved them out of London to a sleepy village in Sussex where she could devote every minute of the day to him alone. He expected nothing but perfection in keeping house and having his meals on the table as soon as he walked in the door. He chose her clothing, what she ate and how much, isolated her from her friends and limited her contact with anyone outside of his carefully curated bubble. After ruining her previous phone, he bought her a new one but loaded it with spyware so that he could track her movements, her browsing history and her call log. He entered only two numbers into the list of contacts - his own and her mother's...only he changed her mother's number by a digit or two thus preventing her from contacting her family.

***TRIGGER WARNING: Lots of sex, actual and implied. Some bad language, extreme control and manipulation. ***
After having loved Gemma's previous thrillers, The Teacher, The Babysitter, The Neighbour and The Flatmate, I was really looking forward to a new thriller by her.
The Good Wife got right to where the action was, by introducing Savannah and Chloe. I admit, not much happened until around chapter 22. Maybe this was intentional to show how sheltered life was for Chloe. If it was, it was the right tactic, and well done.
Gemma Rogers goes deep into their life and the level of control Tom has over Chloe is absolutely terrifying: controlling how much she eats, what she does and wears.
I immediately disliked Tom and, more than once, thought he was highly manipulative, dangerous and downright evil. I found myself scared of him. I was proud of Chloe for trying to get away from him.
I felt uneasy, nervous, scared, hopeful, and utterly gripped by my concern for Chloe. I so wanted her to be less submissive earlier on though, and fight for herself more. I was concerned for what bad consequence that would have for her, given how highly unpredicatable Tom was.
I wanted Chloe to be helped by Savannah, and was thinking "Will she be, or won't she?" I didn't want her to be let down and knew she had to get out of there.
The Good wife is SO twisty and full of suspense. I definitely could not trust Tom, and I was undecided about Savannah, especially given her connection to Tom (his escort).
Thanks to Gemma Rogers, Bolldwood Books and Rachel's Random Reesources for my eARC in exchange for an honest and voluntary review.
4.5 stars.

This was a highly addictive, shocking, hard to put down filled with twists and turns.
I don't think I've ever hated a character as much as I hated Tom but seeing the way everything played out was so satisfying. I would recommend.

What a fantastic read ! I was fully immersed in the characters Tom the egotistical control freak. Chloe his beautiful down trodden wife . Then enter Savannah! Love her or loath her I loved her .
Tom displayed coercive control choosing his wife’s clothes controlling how much she ate isolating her belittling her !
He did a real number on her !
However the outcome was superb .
10/10

Holy s**t! This book had me in a death grip! Honestly have never wanted to finish a book yet make it last so much in my life. Utterly brilliant, cleverly written and the end... Absolutely fantastic. Gemma Rogers is one hell of a writer. Cannot wait to make my way through her back list.

Thank you Boldwood Books and NetGalley for an early copy of The Good Wife. Way toooooo much sex, the first half of the book was just tooooooo much but if you can get past it, the second half is worth it!!! What a despicable character Tom was, atrocious. I felt for Chloe and I liked Savannah. They never did clear up the last part which I didn’t like. It wasn’t one of my favorites,

Very good book the more you read the more you wanted to hit tom great read

I got to 50 percent and just couldn't pick it back up again. I felt like it was just going on circles. This was a DNF for me.

I guess I’m on a roll reading these novels about wives trying to escape controlling husbands! But this one was quite unusual and I loved its complexity! Would you enlist the help of your husband’s escort to get you out of your marriage? Yup! That’s what happened here and it was a fun ride!
January 17, 2024
5 stars are nowhere near enough!! This is the most addictive book I have read in...well ever!! Fantastic work Gemma Rogers!
The story is about a young wife, Chloe, who has the misfortune to be married to an utterly vile, despicable and narcissistic character, Tom (he makes a great character, but you would not want to meet this guy let alone be his spouse!). To say he is controlling is a vast understatement. Chloe wants out of this marriage. Tom tells Chloe the only way she is getting out is in a box (ouch!!). Another central character is alluring escort, Savannah. The plot focuses around these 3 central characters, with the story being told through these 3 perspectives.
This book reads SO well, my only criticism is that eventually it does end and then, dear reader, you are left with a book shaped void that (sigh) is near impossible to fill. I pity the next book I review as the bar for fiction in 2024 has been set seriously high thanks Gemma Rogers!
My thanks to NetGalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an advance copy.

If 10 stars was a rating option, that’s how I’d score this book! Twists right up to the last page!! I highly recommend this book!!

I’d give this super slow paced thriller(?) a solid 2.5 ⭐️….definitely not a page turner. The main characters were unlikeable and often made it difficult to finish the book. There were so many unnecessary details that prolonged the book. All the details failed to provide an interesting plot. I dreaded Chloe and Tom’s POV chapters…they just kept getting worse and more predictable.
I’ve enjoyed previous books by the author…but this one wasn’t for me. I would not recommended this book to others….maybe the audiobook version would be better 🤷♀️
Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the gifted ARC…as all opinions are my own.

I received The Good Wife from NetGalley for free for an honest review. Major trigger warning. This book deals with both physical and mental abuse, infidelity, and sex work. I feel like I have seen this story before- a hardworking man gets a woman to fall for him and then he isolates and abuses her. She then tries to get out of the relationship. I found the story to be predictable and was able to figure out almost everything that happened in the story. None of the characters were likable and all had major flaws. There were also a lot of superfluous characters- gardener, mother in law, wives of business partners, and a lucrative art dealer. I was not really rooting for anyone in this book. There were also a lot of story lines that did not fully tie up at the end of the book- the biggest one being misused business funds that they talked about quite frequently but sort of just fell off in the story. It was a quick read and did not require a lot of mental focus, but I would not recommend.

My unrestrained thoughts: Tom can rot in hell for all I care. And his parents too, because he is probably like that because of them.
Now, onto a little sophisticated review – it may contain tiny spoilers!
TW: Domestic violence, unwanted sex, sexual assault, foul language, and abuse.
Gemma Rogers weaves her magic in her latest novel, The Good Wife, where harmless charm hides abuse, and seething anger hides under obedience! The Beswicks look like such a perfect couple – Tom provides, and Chloe nurtures. She is a good wife – she cooks, cleans, and is always present to cater to her husband, Tom. But we get to know soon it’s all a façade, and Chloe is trapped in a controlling marriage. She is isolated from everyone and forbidden to work, meet friends, or just, you know, live.
Help comes in the form of Savannah, an escort she meets at Tom’s company dinner. She’s just the woman Tom would leave her for – what if she paid her to make him fall for her? The plan is soon set in motion, but what follows next is something neither Chloe nor Savannah anticipated. But it’s too late to reserve anything…
I absolutely devoured this book! Tension lurked on every page, underlined with subtle suspense, mystery, and dark humor. I had to stop myself from reading ahead just to see what was happening – it was that addictive! For all the spice lovers (with a dash of cheating), there are more than enough sex scenes. But they were necessary for the plot and were succinct enough to not take the attention away from the story.
The characters ran the show, and everyone contributed equally to the narrative. But I was more fascinated by Chloe’s characterization. I rooted for her, felt nervous and scared for her, and eventually celebrated with her. There were times she frustrated me because she could’ve easily escaped numerous times. But I also know how years of control and conditioning can make you afraid to stray out of the line. It was this frustration that told me that her portrayal is realistic and impressive!
This thriller book gives proper justice to its genre. You can say it has become one of my favorites now!
What I liked
Everyday setting: The story wasn’t extravagant – it was a (not-so) ordinary life of an ordinary couple. And for someone who loves reading stories where something big happens every other page, the book surprisingly held my attention. Unironically, it was fascinating to see how Chloe, and even Tom and Savannah, navigated daily life, even when they were going on runs, meeting parents, or attending to clients. I felt the book read like a personal diary of the three characters, and well, who doesn’t like to snoop into others’ lives?
Tom’s portrayal: Let me reassure you that I hate him – what I am hinting at is I liked the way he was characterized. Making a bad character truly deserving of hate is difficult – which is why I am able to sympathize with a lot of villains. But Tom… oh, he’s utterly despicable. He’s a monster hiding under a charming façade, and he feels so real that I won’t even realize if I’d pass by a Tom while jogging, running errands, or shopping. He can be found everywhere, even in the members of your family. And that’s what I was utterly impressed with.
Savannah’s innocence: I know Savannah is an escort, but there are times when I saw her as this innocent student trying to make ends meet. She was sensual when she wanted to be, but even then, her innocence never left, and it was endearing to see. I don’t know how Rogers maintained that perfect balance between sexy and innocent but it made Savannah much more appealing.
What I wasn’t impressed with
I didn’t feel much difference between the tones of the three perspectives. In fact, if the names weren’t mentioned in the chapter titles, I don’t think I would’ve gotten the fact that three people are narrating their stories. It’s not big of a deal for me and I settled into the book rather quickly, but it was something that bothered me for the first few chapters.
The ending was also something that didn’t sit right with me. After all the delicious buildup, the conclusion seemed abrupt and chipped away my joy at seeing Tom get what he deserved. Even though the perpetrator was hinted at in the epilogue,
But looking past it was easy because I was fiercely happy that Chloe was finally free and ready to turn a new leaf! I would’ve also loved to see what happened with Savannah someone tell the author to write her story, or I would have to resort to writing a fanfiction on her.
My final thoughts?
Full of drama, vile characters, and breathtaking twists, The Good Wife is definitely an unforgettable read. You won’t be able to put it down until you finish it and are left with a cathartic satisfaction. It does contain a fair share of triggers, so check the warnings before you proceed.
