Thank you to St. Martin's Press, Sally Hepworth, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of The Younger Wife!  All opinions in this review are my own.

Well, Sally Hepworth has done it again.  I was in a terrible reading slump before picking up The Younger Wife.  Much like The Mother-In-Law, I couldn't stop reading The Younger Wife because I just had to know what happened in the opening scene of the book!

Stephen is getting married again.  While his adult daughters, Rachel and Tully are struggling with him divorcing their mom, who is in a home for people with advanced dementia, they meet his new wife-to-be, Heather.  Heather is the same age as Rachel and even younger than Tully so the daughters are immediately wary of her intentions.  As Rachel and Tully begin to uncover family secrets, and share some of their own, everyone begins to reveal their true colors.

The structure of The Younger Wife is what kept me hooked.  I love that it starts with a mysterious event at the wedding and then jumps back in time to show what led up to it.  It is also told in alternating viewpoints between Rachel, Tully, and Heather, which not only helps develop each woman's individual story, but also helps to throw doubt on which characters are telling the truth.
