The beginnings of an interesting new character
I'll be honest. From what I heard about this movie, I was expecting to like it more than I did. That's not to say I didn't like it. I did. But I was expecting more. I was also expecting Enola to be more like her brother, Sherlock Holmes. But what we got is a new character, with enough differences from Sherlock himself, that the character feels totally original as well.

The story has a simple premise. Enola's mother goes missing & she goes looking for her. She's always a step ahead of her brother & using hints left by her mother, she goes on an adventure that brings her closer to her goal.

I found the movie fun & love when Enola breaks the 4th wall to talk to us. Millie Bobby Brown is great as Enola & feel like they should keep these films going.

That being said, I do wish the movie flowed a little better. It dragged here & there and seemed sometimes like we cut away to a different movie.

Let me start by saying this: That was unexpected. I usually write notes when I read, jot down theories and emotions, express suspicions or ask questions. While reading this book, that same sentence, "that was unexpected", was repeated over and over. So many people have raved over The Wife Between Us, I was curious. Not to say I'm highly disappointed, but I suppose I feel as if the book didn't live up to the hype. Granted, there were several twists and turns - some I was able to guess correctly and others I could never have predicted - but, overall, it was pretty good. The most intriguing part, for me, was trying to figure out if Vanessa was actually crazy, like her mother, and if I was falling for her altered reality. I would read and read, painting Richard as the villain, then she would say or think something that would make me pause and wonder just how like her mother she really could be. That ending, though, was a total bombshell!
