As a soon-to-be lawyer, passionate about equal contribution of domestic labour, this book was very triggering at times. However, it had me hooked from the very beginning! Loved the very ending ;)

I can identify with the message of the book, but the plot is predictable, clumsy, and unsophisticated. If it is written for us women, please trust our intelligence a bit more.

Love this modern, inverted take on the “stepford wives” and “don’t worry, darling”. An interesting read that tackles gender norms and the historically gendered division of labor.
