The Doctor’s Wife (The Doctor's Wife, #1)

“I am the doctor's wife. It is a title I wear with pride, even if it feels like a collar.”

Fern seems like she has the perfect life in that big house. Then you realize she is basically a prisoner to her husband's schedule.

“Everything has its place. Everything has its purpose.”

Drew uses his job as a surgeon to control every minute of the day. He treats his marriage like a medical procedure that needs to be perfect.

The way Fern cleans the house feels frantic. She isn't being tidy. She is trying to survive the next inspection.

“She is younger. She is fresher. She is the new project.”

Alice coming into the picture changes everything. You see how easily a man like Drew can find a new person to manipulate.
