Queen B’s Decree: The Lost Wife was a difficult start for me. It alternates between present day and moments up to one year ago, counting down to current time. And…it was slow.
Basically, Harry and Lea are getting married, but more and more, Lea believes Harry is hiding something from her. Most of the time she seemed in denial; I kept wondering why she was going forward with the wedding. At multiple points, friends/family/lawyers ask her if this is really what she wants or to not marry him. But don’t worry…she doesn’t listen.
So we go through all this back and forth leading up to the reveal, and it felt weak. It was like a bad movie villain with a monologue about everything they did and why. And after it was all done, I just felt bad for the victims since it all felt so unnecessary.
The Lost Wife was an okay read that was slower than expected.
