"The Wife Stalker is my third read by Liv Constantine. I had been looking forward to this one, but I had a hard time connecting with it. The story had a slow start, but I was still interested enough to keep going.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, the story ended up feeling very far-fetched and unrealistic (and not in a fun way). I found myself rolling my eyes more and more as the story went on. The main characters annoyed me Even though the twist at the end pulled the story together well, it still wasn't enough to save it for me."
"WOW! This book definitely had one of the biggest twist that I did not see coming! Told from 2 POVS, Piper and Joanna, they are both in love with Leo. Initially, I couldn’t stand the book because the information provided was completely false! I was annoyed and angry at this book, but y’all when I say the ending was everything. I mean it was everything. All the falseness was then realized that it should have given me a clue about the twist! Yea, this book got me good! <br/><br/>Thanks for the gifted copy to Liv Constantine and Suzyapprovedbooktours!!"
