The Pretend Wife by Bridget Asher
3.0
I was actually kind of surprised when I finished the book and checked the publication date - it had a very late 90s feel to me, if that makes sense. The style of writing and the story and the way the characters acted...
I liked Vivian a lot and her advice was really lovely. I was a little annoyed by Gwen in a lot go ways, and I felt like her friendships and marriage weren’t well fleshed out - but maybe that was to say something about what they were? I now it’s not, but this read a lot like a first novel, a bit rough around the edges, which is not a bad thing - it’s kind of charming.
