I’ve read some quotes telling me this novel is in the vein of The Girl on the Train but it’s nothing of the sort as far as I can see. The Wife Between Us is the first collaboration between Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen a gripping thriller with film rights sold to the creators of The Girl On the Train.

Okay, so after almost three years, I’ve finally finished reading Fushigi Yugi. If you haven't read this at all, read the spoilers at your own risk!
