Review: An Innocent Wife

An Innocent Wife by Richa Resa

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

An Emotional Roller-coaster

This story is about the love/married life of a couple, Eunice and Joshua. Joshua loses his daughter in an accident that involves his Eunice, but his weak twisted mind turns all the grief into hatred for his wife. His reason—Eunice drove the car with his daughter (a result of one-night-stand) even when he said not to bring his daughter.

In an attempt to break her, he does everything including cheating on her with her own friend. The rest of the story is for you to read.

Eunice: Innocent, loving and doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She loves her husband even after everything he puts her through. Her character could be considered in a different perspective of the reader, but to me she simply portrays the few woman I've met in my daily life. Sometimes I wanted to smack her and tell her to move on, but the heart want what it wants. I'll never understand this thing. How many of you had wondered why Selena Gomez keeps taking Justin Bieber back though he cheats on her everytime? Just a random thought,really. But after reading this book I think I have an idea why.

Joshua: Spineless swine. Yeah, that's him. He believes what he thinks is right. Always put a child before his wife. Thinks with his d*** and acts with his balls. On the positive side, the instant hatred towards this character couldn't be avoided and cheers, author.

Eunice's friends: Very supportive and voice of reasoning. They try their best to help their friend in every situation and stick together.

Though there are several books with the similar concepts, I liked the emotions and the plot flow. Repetitive dialogues at some places could've been avoided. I am not pleased with the way it ended and I wish the author stuck to her original ending. That is Joshua committing suicide. Don't be afraid to take risks in your future stories. Not all readers think the same and not all would like a happy ending. Some pain and heartbreak wouldn't hurt.
