The Wife App
The Wife App: A Novel | Carolyn Mackler
4 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Because every wife deserves a happy ending. Three best friends decide they’re finally done with their ex-husbands taking their work as wives and moms for granted. They’re ready to monetize the mental load, stick it to their exes, and have a wild ride in the process. Lauren, mother of twins, wakes up one morning to her Wife Alarm Bells sounding. She sleuths on her husband’s phone and stumbles on a dirty secret that explodes her marriage. Madeline has it all—a penthouse apartment, a perfect daughter, and no-strings-attached romps with handsome men. When she learns that she might lose her child to her ex in England, it stirs up a decades-old personal tragedy. Sophie, with too much FOMO and never enough money, obsesses over her ex-husband’s Family 2.0—all while keeping her true desires hidden, even from herself. It starts as a joke during a tipsy night out, as Lauren, Madeline, and Sophie rail against everything wives do for free. Let’s build an app that monetizes the mental load. And maybe get revenge on our exes in the process? Soon, the Wife App is born, and before long, it’s the fastest growing start-up in New York City. But then life intervenes. Love intervenes. Ex-husbands intervene. And the consequences are bigger than anything Lauren, Madeline, or Sophie could have expected. Carolyn Mackler marks her debut into adult fiction with a hilarious rollercoaster ride of revenge and redemption that is at once a send-up of modern marriage and a celebration of female friendship and love in all forms.

Have you finally hit the wall when it comes to "mental load"? You know, those things like to do lists, forms, invitations, social obligations, etc. The never ending list of things to do that quite often fall to women. Well Lauren, Madeline, and Sophie certainly have. As single mothers with ex husbands, they are quite frankly done. Over drinks, they come up with The Wife App to help people with their own "mental loads".

Today, I‘m sharing this book I received in the mail. Simon & Schuster sent this book to me. I‘ve read from this author before. When I was a teenager, I read her book The Earth, My Butt And Other Big Round Things. I really enjoyed that book and I could relate to it too considering that the book is about a plus size teenager and I was a plus size teenager. Now, I‘m a plus size adult.

Think First Wives Club meets social media and voila. Whilst this doesn't solve all the worldly issues women face, it does offer laughs and the characters are fun...although Lauren did start to get on my nerves a little. This will make a fun holiday read and releases the 27th of June.
