I wasn't expecting to enjoy this one as much as I did- but I feel like it's because there is so much truth to the concepts in this book. The plot felt original and I was happy to root for each of the characters - Mackler created a story in which we see how resilient women are in all aspects of their lives!

FULL REVIEW IN Aisha's Book World

Imagine this: an app that allows you to get rid of all the work you do as a wife and for which you aren’t paid, because someone else will do it for you. Would you use it?

I love the dynamics between Lauren, Sophie and Madeline. Is the best asset this book has; they have this Sex & the City vibe without the corny scenes and cheesy dialogues. And way more funnier.

The Wife App is my first book from Ms. Mackler and I really enjoyed it. It was well written, although I didn’t liked much the beginning, which was slow and lacked of context. At the same time, even though the full story is alluring and you can’t stop reading the book, it wasn’t solid enough in specific parts of the plot. With topics like mental health, anxiety, LGBTQ, feminism, family and romance, this is a book a lot of women will enjoy and relate to this gorgeous heroines.

ARC given by Simon & Schuster via Netgalley. Thanks for your trust.

DNF. — I got like 62% of the way through and just couldn’t make myself keep reading it. The approach towards the mental load is really creative and it’s a good conversation starter. However I didn’t enjoy the characters individually or the book overall
