I finished this book in 2 days and did have a hard time putting it down. That being said, it still didn’t blow me away enough to give it more than 3 stars. The premise was great and I related to the characters in more ways than one. Throughout the book though there were some plot holes, unrealistic twists for the characters and some flimsy dialogue. If you can remove yourself from some of the “really??” moments, it was a quick, fun and humorous read that screams summer beach read. Thanks Simon and Schuster for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

"The Wife App" is a unique premise and does a solid job at exploring the mental/invisible load of women. While I enjoyed it I wasn't ravenous for more. Interesting and a little different, it's worth a read.

NetGalley provided the review copy in exchange for my honest opinion (thanks!).
