The Wife App by Carolyn Mackler
4.0
The Wife App follows three best friends, Lauren, Madeline, and Sophie, who, while divorced, continue to do all the work when it comes to parenting. After a night out, they decide to create an app to monetize on all the things wives typically do for free. Little did they know how successful it would become, not only for wives but also for husbands.
This book was unique and unlike anything I’ve read before. It was well-written, entertaining and gave off feel-good vibes. Even though the premise is not totally realistic, as I think there would be a lot of legal issues with an app like this, it is still easy to relate to the characters and themes in the story. I enjoyed how big of a role the main characters’ kids played, which balanced nicely with their evolving romances. Also, if you are an audiobook fan, I loved listening to the story, and each POV had their own narrator!
Read if you like:
-Feminist and privilege themes
-Alternative POVs
-Family drama
-NYC setting
