The Other Woman

Emily is not looking for love when she meets Adam in a London bar, but the connection is immediate and the romance moves fast. He is charming, attentive, and seemingly perfect — until Emily meets his mother, Pammie. From their first encounter, Pammie makes her disapproval plain, and what starts as awkwardness curdles into a campaign of small sabotages designed, it seems, to drive Emily away for good.

Caught between the man she loves and the mother who will not let her in, Emily fights to hold on to the relationship, even as the strain begins to warp everything around her. But nothing about this family is quite what it appears, and the harder Emily pushes, the more she senses that Pammie's hostility may be hiding something far more dangerous than jealousy.

Sandie Jones's The Other Woman is a twisty, propulsive domestic thriller — a Reese's Book Club pick — that turns the familiar tension between a woman and her mother-in-law into something genuinely sinister, building to a final revelation few readers see coming.
