Okay, so I just finished 'The Wife Before' and wow—this book had me hooked from page one! The way Shanora Williams builds suspense is *chef's kiss*. I stayed up way too late reading because I HAD to know what happened next.

The main character Samira is so relatable—she's flawed but fierce, and Roland? Total walking red flag vibes (but in the best thriller way). The Miami and Colorado settings added such a cool atmospheric touch too.

That said... the ending was kinda predictable? Like I guessed the big twist around halfway through. But honestly the journey was so entertaining that I didn't even care. The writing flows super easily—finished it in two sittings!

Would totally recommend if you're into domestic thrillers with messy relationships and dark secrets. Just don't start it at night unless you're prepared to lose sleep!
