The Three Mrs. Wrights

by Linda Keir

[Jeff Sexton]

Fun, Interesting Read - With A Seemingly Tacked On Ending. This was truly a fun book. Told mostly from three perspectives - a woman a man meets at a bar, another woman a man has plucked away from a medical fellowship at Duke to be in his cancer research startup, and a third woman who is married to a man who is always away on business - the book follows each relationship and becomes clear to the reader fairly early that these "three" men are in fact the same guy. From there, it begins to pick up a more serious version of The Other Woman - the 2014 comedy featuring Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton. But the last chapter, ostensibly from the view of the woman from the bar, is seemingly tacked on and extremely rushed, and that ultimately hurts the aftertaste of the book. Truly solid work before that point, the book probably would have had a better aftertaste had it actively shown the event the last chapter speaks of instead of from a perspective of a few years after the event, maybe with the things of a few years later as an active epilogue (which this book doesn't actually have). Still, truly a fun book before that point, and very much recommended.
