"Thought it was okay. Feel the ending could have been much improved. Though there is Scientific jargon, you don't have to understand it to understand the novel. "

"Im not quite done, but I'm enjoying it so much! The plot is so basic, the struggle to deal with adultery and a failed relationship, that anyone can relate. But the author's small twist, making the other woman be a clone of the wife, makes the issues raised so delightfully intricate. I think I know how it will end, and I'm looking forward to seeing if I'm right."

"This would be an excellent book for a book club. So much to discuss and pick apart. So much character growth. "

Brandi Always Reading

"I would not necessarily call this a thriller, but has several interesting themes throughout the story. "

Olivia Huie

"I loooooved the drama of The Echo Wife! It's such a messy setup in the best way, and I want to see it as a TV show. I was captivated from the beginning, and I loved seeing how the story and characters unraveled. <br/><br/>CW - cheating, divorce, termination of pregnancy, abuse, mention of suicide"

"I was really trying to like this book, but I couldn’t. I feel the story itself was good, but the jargon and all technical terms and such just isn’t up my alley. I found it difficult to read and not because I couldn’t read the words, they just didn’t flow in a way I find enjoyable. "

Kristie Richards

"The terrifying hubris of bad husbands and generally mediocre men who stumble into success sometimes and still make a huge mess out of absolutely everything…and the women that always have to deal with the fallout. A top favorite of mine. I thought about this book for weeks after I finished it."

Blair

"Giving The Echo Wife “Best Premise of 2021.” I am here for a less likable female lead and this book has one hellofva surly, self abusing, mean girl, but who’s like brilliant and better than you."
