The Wife App by Carolyn Mackler
4.0
Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC of The Wife App in exchange for my review.
The Wife App is the brainchild of three friends who have all been through divorces. They realize that as wives, they have been responsible for the mental load of raising children and running households without any recognition or compensation for their efforts. They create an app that lets people outsource their mental loads for a price, hopefully leading to more equitable relationships and garnering more power for women.
Through the story, each of the women deal with challenges and fallout from their failed marriages and co-parenting issues. As the app grows, the women work through their personal issues, sometimes even relying on the app for their own mental loads.
This is a fun and empowering story of friendship, life after divorce, and business risks. It was a quick and engrossing read with characters who felt well defined and real. I recommend this book and would be interested in reading future books by Carolyn Mackler.
