À propos de cet audio
The perfect life. The perfect love. The perfect lie. From the best-selling author of The Girl Before comes a gripping new psychological thriller....
“Mind-bending...Delaney takes domestic suspense beyond its comfort zone.” (The New York Times Book Review)
Named one of the Best Books of the Year by the New York Public Library • A Cosmopolitan New Must-Read
Abbie awakens in a daze with no memory of who she is or how she landed in this unsettling condition. The man by her side claims to be her husband. He’s a titan of the tech world, the founder of one of Silicon Valley’s most innovative start-ups. He tells Abbie that she is a gifted artist, an avid surfer, a loving mother to their young son, and the perfect wife. He says she had a terrible accident five years ago and that, through a huge technological breakthrough, she has been brought back from the abyss.
She is a miracle of science.
But as Abbie pieces together memories of her marriage, she begins to question her husband’s motives - and his version of events. Can she trust him when he says he wants them to be together forever? And what really happened to her, half a decade ago?
Beware the man who calls you...
The Perfect Wife.
Praise for The Perfect Wife
"A twisty, completely original psychological thriller that grabs you from the start and doesn’t let go until the very end." (Karen Cleveland, New York Times best-selling author of Need to Know)
"Seriously, amazingly, awesomely brilliant...speculative fiction mixed up with a mind-bendingly twisty psycho thriller! I devoured it." (C. J. Tudor, author of The Chalk Man)
"A tour de force...The Perfect Wife is a chilling and uniquely disturbing twenty-first-century twist on the unreliable narrator that makes for a compulsive and deeply thought-provoking book. It asks troubling questions about selfhood and ‘souls’ and what makes us human, and plays them out in a compelling psychological thriller." (Cara Hunter, author of Close to Home)

Ce que les critiques en disent
"The Perfect Wife blew my mind! What a wonderful and unique thriller. I haven’t been able to put it down since it arrived, and now that I’ve finished I can’t stop thinking about it! Those last lines...wow! JP Delaney has outdone himself with his latest dynamic, razor-sharp, and thought-provoking thriller. The Perfect Wife is a cutting-edge suspense novel unlike any you’ve read before.... A must-read!" (Mary Kubica, New York Times best-selling author of The Good Girl)
"Readers...will be rewarded with a fresh take on the domestic thriller that will leave them satisfied." (Booklist)
"Puts - almost perfectly - a high-tech spin on the stories of Frankenstein and Pygmalion with a tinge of the Stepford wives.... The intriguing plot leads to a chilling and surprising finale that perfectly caps The Perfect Wife." (Associated Press)
"Artificial intelligence might seem like a risky plot device, and the premise of the novel itself is tricky at best, but Delaney pulls it off brilliantly, with an intoxicating knack for suspense. This is the kind of novel ugly words like ‘unputdownable’ were invented for. With the tale of Abbie, Delaney delivers a sharp reflection on misogyny.... With every thriller must come a dizzying plot twist and an unforeseeable denouement, as is definitely the case here.... Everything about The Perfect Wife feels earned and satisfying.... This journey is a captivating, deeply engrossing one." (The Independent)

Good story but a bit strange
The premise looked great... but it was only just OK for me. It starts off interesting but just went a bit flat somewhere in the middle. I think it was the POV that bothered me. I just couldn't get into the characters.

A clumsy but great analogy about neurodivergence
I think the ableism criticisms are people that have not finished the book but I can't blame them. The analogies about different people having different needs and communicating differently is touching and well done. However, this progression in the view of the main character should've been clearer earlier to not alienate the audience and trigger them without a clear intention early on.
The second person narration is a refreshing play on how stories can be told.
I quite enjoyed the book overall and it's message about neurodivergent people like myself.

Boring
Easy to listen to....boring.
The idea of artificial intelligence was cool but story ran dry lost interest. Anything you thought was exactly how you predicted.

Astonishingly ableist re: autism?
I honestly couldn’t even finish this book; the amount of harmful autism rhetoric was pretty rough. Anyone who has spent any time in disability activism knows that Non autistic people being obsessed with “curing” autism leads to really bad and abusifs dynamics.
Virtually every single disability organization run BY and for autistic people recognizes ABA as literal abuse, yet so much of this plot involves praising ABA for making Danny (the autistic child) more “normal.” This is like if autism speaks (a very damaging organization) wrote a thriller.... pretty gross. I’d skip it.
