The Wife App by Carolyn Mackler

4.0

Thanks so much @carolynmacklerbooks and  @simonbooks for this free copy 💖.

✨What it is about:

A group of friends, finally done with their ex husbands who took them for granted, go on a girls night and jokingly talk about all a wife does for free, and how they should build an app that monetizes the mental load. It starts as a joke, but soon they make it happen, stick it to their exes, and the app becomes the fastest growing startup in NYC.  ✨

💭My thoughts:

This was a very unique and modern story that was interesting and very well developed. Watching Sophie, Lauren and Madeline rise from their failed marriages along with their children, and be so productive and hardworking to achieve their success, was fun. Their exes were total tools, and I was so glad when the girls’ business took off like it did. It was no easy feat, but the process allowed all the ladies to grow and become their best selves, and that is always something I enjoy in stories. I loved how the women supported each other through the journey too. The ending was satisfying, and I think this would be a fun movie to watch.
