I really love all of Kathryn Croft's books, however, I found this one really quite confusing. The whole time I was thinking have I missed something?? sorry did not finish

This twisty tale of toxic friendships, relationships, lies, deception, consequences, betrayals and secrets is written from the alternating perspectives of two relatable women. Abby who is married to Rob and Sienna who is married to Craig, they had no children from their current relationships but Craig had a teenage son called Jackson with his ex wife Holly. Abby and Sienna had met when they had turned up for a Pilates class which unbeknownst to the two women had been cancelled so they had gone for a coffee and from that moment had struck up a close friendship. After their husband's met and also became friends, the two couples started meeting up regularly for meals and bbq's. All was going well until one summer night when after a discussion about tv reality shows, Sienna innocently (or not so innocently) suggested that they spice their lives up by swapping partners for the night. That night would change their lives forever, certain character's demeanour and attitudes changed, suspicion and misconceptions spread throughout the group and then Craig mysteriously disappeared.

Sienna is determined to uncover what happened that night and the whereabouts of her husband and didn't care if Abby's life got torn apart in the process because as far as Sienna was concerned that was exactly what Abby deserved.

Out of the four main characters, the only one who I felt a bit of sympathy for was Rob although he didn't help himself at times and I found it difficult to care when their lives started falling apart around them..My least favourite character for the vast majority of the book was Sienna although I did change my feelings about her a tiny bit by the time the story had finished. The reader knew from the beginning of the story that there was issues in both the couple's relationships even before the night that changed their lives forever. But what had happened on that night? Where was Craig? Was Sienna's suspicions about Abby correct or was the truth even more darker and shocking Sienna and the reader would ever suspect?

I love this author's psychological thrillers, they are always extremely well written, addictive reads and The Other Husband is no exception. The story is intricately plotted, keeps the reader guessing and has more twists and turns than a roller coaster. The story books you in from the first page, has some very clever misdirections and the cast of characters were vivid, realistic and relatable. I thought this was a captivating, gripping read, very very highly recommended and definitely going to be one of my favourite reads of this year.

Overall I enjoyed this. I liked how it was obvious that lots of secrets were being kept and nothing was as it first appeared and from the halfway point I really couldn't put it down because I just had to find out how it ended. I liked the ending as it was not what I was expecting and all loose ends were tied up nicely.

I wasn't a fan of the ominous foreshadowing, the whole 'But if only they knew what was going to happen' narration was a bit cheesy, but I can let that slide. The dialogue also felt a bit clunky in parts, especially at the beginning of the book.

I would recommend this book as it was entertaining.
