The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey

4.0

I listened to this on Audible. I was not a fan of the narrator. She was too hesitant and breathy and it didn’t quite fit the protagonist’s personality.

Despite the faults of the narration, I really enjoyed this. It has a great deal to say about marriage, gender, toxic masculinity, patriarchal norms, and women in science. I loved how the relationship between Evelyn and Martine developed. It seemed so natural. I’m still thinking about all the nuances of the social commentary and so don’t have much to say at the moment. I think this would make for a great book club discussion.

I want to read this without the audible. I think I’d like it better and could speak to its power.
