Because every wife deserves a happy ending.
Any mother, wife, ex-wife, or overworked parent will totally relate to The Wife App! Three friends, Lauren, Sophie and Madeline are all divorced and sick of the mental load they are forced to carry with no appreciation or payment. What if there was an app that paid people to do all the things wives do for free?
The Wife App by Carolyn Mackler has a premise that anyone can get behind. The theme of this story and agelong question I also wondered was why it is always the “mom’s job” to make sure all appointments are scheduled and paperwork is filled out? So one night when Lauren, Sophie, and Madeline are out they come up with an idea. They want to have an app that they can call on to do the things they don’t want to do or have time to do.
Each woman is a mother who is going through a trying time. I loved getting to experience the growth of each character as they all found who they really wanted to be and accept themselves. Dealing with Exes isn’t always the easiest, but they gals handled it with grace and patience.
The Wife App gives woman power vibes and has strong female characters. I was rooting for all three of these women. Their app was amazing and they were likable characters. This was a very upbeat, inspiring novel. I would highly recommend to anyone who like the movie The First Wives Club as it has similar vibes. I definitely think this is an author I will be keeping tabs on.
