A review by _darbi_
The Stepford Wives by Ira Levin

dark mysterious sad tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

the stepford wives is the primer for don’t worry, darling

predictable ending, but captivatingly concise writing with an unfortunately timeless discussion on desired expectations for women by many cishet men. a little bit on the nose with contemporary trad wife discussions.

dated writing about bodies and image.
