Emily has met the man of her dreams. Adam is everything that she has ever wanted in a man. He is perfect for her in so many ways. And then she meets his mother, Pammie. Pammie is overbearing and protective of her son. She is critical of everything Emily does, says, and wears. Of course, Adam doesn't see it, she is his mother, after all. Despite Pammie's best efforts, Adam and Emily's relationship is flourishing and Adam proposes on his birthday, but the night does not get a pass from Pammie's hysterics. Then the night before their wedding, Pammie declares that she has cancer, forcing Adam to postpone the wedding. Emily is devastated and not sure they can ever get past the disappointment, no matter how much Adam professes his love. Then Emily discovers she is pregnant. Will Emily and Adam get the "happy ever after" that they both claim to want?
I must say that I think that Emily is a freaking saint for putting up with everything she did from both Adam and his mother. Almost immediately flags were waving for me and they were bright red. It is hard for the reader to keep turning pages because you just want to shake Emily and tell her to run, but you also want to see what is going to happen. You cannot put the book down because you just have to see if Adam finally tells his mother off. Or if Emily will finally get fed up and walk away. The end was so shocking to me, it was the kind of twist that you just don't see coming. -CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS
Bottom Line -- I absolutely love the kind of thriller that can surprise me in the end. The Other Woman was one of the rare books that left me speechless. I can easily see why Reese Witherspoon chose it for her online book club.
