Story
You’ve never met the other wives. None of you know each other, and because of this unconventional arrangement, you can see your husband only one day a week. But you love him so much you don’t care. Or at least that’s what you’ve told yourself. But one day, while you’re doing laundry, you find a scrap of paper in his pocket—an appointment reminder for a woman named Hannah, and you just know it’s another of the wives.

The ending
Reviewed: 06-21-24
This book was a waste of my time! The build up to the end was too abrupt. And then it took an even more bizarre twist and turn. Felt kind of desperate!

One doomed love affair after another has made lovely Alex Walton swear off men. Now, she's determined to try something that maybe she can succeed at: a writing career.

Not enough character development
Reviewed: 02-19-24
I love the fact that the characters were predominantly African American. what I didn't like about it was that there wasn't enough character development for me to really invest in the main characters. and there were so many love scenes in the book. but because I didn't invest myself in the characters, I didn't believe him. I'm almost tempted to ask for my credits back but I did finish the book. it wasn't horrible but it was not my favorite of her books that I've read so far.
