The Second Wife by Sheryl Browne
4.0

What would you do if you received emails or texts from your best friend where her new relationship sounds amazing, but a little too perfect? Then, you start to receive more emails and texts when your friend marries the perfect man and starts to have problems with his daughter? Then, your best friend dies. What would you do?
In this case, Rebecca "Becky" decides to pursue Richard, Nicole's husband to see if Richard was anyway behind the death of Nicole due to the messages she has gotten.
I really enjoyed seeing POV's from Rebecca, Richard, Nicole, and Olivia to see their thoughts and how twisted some of these characters are.
The writing was really great to where I felt the frustrations of Nicole and feel some shock value when the big plot twist was revealed.
I did dock a star because in the first 50 to 100 pages, Nicole keeps referring to her ex-husband as a minsogynst over and over again. I did not mind she called them that, but with it being so repetitive, it bugged me a little because it was something as the audience that we already knew.
