It is hard to understand Jade’s attachment to Greg after a certain point in the narrative, but readers will want to stick around to see how this thriller resolves. Overall, Her Three Lives is an entertaining read. It is emotional and fast-paced with some good twists and a diverse cast.
... [a] tempestuous thriller ... The couple’s relationship deteriorates as their respective stories unfold in alternating sections, tension and paranoia mounting in tandem.
