The twist the turns
I just didn't see anything that happened coming. So well written that when all the truths come to the surface you will see nothing as if it seems. Don't miss out on this amazing book.

October 14, 2025 Not a fan. Sorry to those who loved reading "The Wife Coach," by Ella King. I loved the premise, but not the execution, though the book did get better in the later sections. There were a few good twists that caught me off guard (so that is a plus), but it all felt dreary and draggy to me. There were suspected betrayals and lies, secrets and revelations, but by the time they were laid out, I no longer cared.
I am not going to summarize the book. You can read hundreds of reviews if you so choose, but this one is not really worth my time. Was it the worst book ever? Definitely not. It was written well, technically, and it had great potential. I just was not moved by it in any way.
3 stars because there is nothing inherently wrong with it, just not a book I would recommend.

Melissa Hill always keeps you guessing!
Another amusing and fun read with her trademark twists and amusing, endearing characters! Being an American but with Irish grandparents (sadly long gone now) the Irish vernacular and sense of humor has always held a large appeal for me but I have been binge reading so many of her books lately that a few of her slang words have popped out of my own mouth lately. Anyway, I enjoyed the ending and that always gets a good review out of me!!!

Oooops I thoroughly enjoyed this book - I’m not supposed to, am I, being as it’s not literature and hardly educational but it was a fun yarn full of lovely people and a couple of clever twists besides.
Ok; so it’s a beach read, so shoot me, but guess what, I was entertained and that’s enough for me. Three shiny stars

Didn't See That Coming
Not sure how to describe this book. More chick - lit with a few plot lines that keep up guessing. And one revelation that was almost creepy at first, until you went back through the previous chapters and realize, you were truly tricked.
Well played.
P.S. Loved the very end, would not have minded more.

Full of Surprises
This is story is anything but boring! Writer keeps her Readers on the edge of their seats. Liz and Tara good friends and truthful deal with hidden secrets from over ones that affect their own lives. What a rollercoaster of surprises and fantastic suspense until end of story.

Okay
Very similar in style to The Single Wife by the same author and I began to fear we'd be left with just as many loose ends but thankfully everyone's "issues" appear at least partly resolved in this story.

I loved this book …i
This book is a great beach read, it’s quick, quirky and fun. The characters were well written, vibrant and relatable as was the story.
If you are looking for something to “take you away’ for a few hours this book is just the ticket.

Great read
The whole book I was confused at the characters, which I'm sure the author wanted, but closer to the end when everything becomes clearer it's is a nice turn around and make some interesting but funny and happy book

This author’s skill at weaving a plot continues to enthrall me. Never figured it out until the very end. To juggle the number of parts to the intertwining friendships and have the reader’s emotions all over the place is a unique skill.

Hard to follow storyline
I thought the author started off with too
many female characters. Not enough description of these characters or how they fit together. By the time I was able to understand the storyline I had finished the book.

A real pageturner
A good read that I could hardly put down. Great characters all going through challenges in their lives. Some true unexpected events become true at the end. A great ending to the story!!!

Loved how this book set you up in one direction and then let the plot twist around and around until the end. Great job!

Great book
This book was so good and it really had some interesting plot twists. I highly recommend this book to people who are tired of the same old boy meets girl dull routine.

Good easy read, took me a minute to figure out the characters and then plot twist threw me, almost went back to reread part of it thinking how did I miss that!

Ok
The twists and surprises were good. The abrupt ending not a favorite. There were so many story lines. Overall a decent book.

Soooo many surprises
I couldn't put the book down. Really great story. But I'm always a little sad when I finish a book, that I couldn't put down.

Not worth the read
The, "You'll never guess the twist in this one" is incredibly lame. The author leaves out name titles to add to the, "twist". Disappointing really.

I wasn’t expecting some of the twist and turns at the end! Overall a good book and entertaining. I found it a slow read and that the characters could have been developed a bit more.

good read
I enjoyed the book. The story was a feel good about relationships. There are always a few twists to keep the reader busy.

Oh the characters!
A lovely group of men and women will charm you in this story. I’d love to have them each as neighbors.

The author saves a plot twist towards the end, this one was about Tara, the life coach. She lived with Glenn, who turns out is her son. Shes been giving a new friend relationship advice and when she goes to meet Natalies new boyfriend, we find out he's actually her old boyfriend and the father of her child.
