The Wives
by Simone Gorrindo
emotional
reflective
medium-paced
I've never been much of a nonfiction reader, but so far this year I've read three. Is that a lot? Not so much in the big scheme of things, but for me it is. I've found a few books that have worked for me. The Wives being one of them.
At 27 years old and a new editor in New York City, the last thing Simone Gorrindo thought she'd end up doing is moving to Georgia to be an army wife to her long term boyfriend Andrew. But that's exactly what she did. Simone navigated the very early years of their marriage in a house, primarily by herself, in rural, red leaning Georgia, a wholly opposite experience from her upbringing. As she learns to live in this new world with new rules, she finds her relationships with the army wives to be her constant, steady foundation that she builds her life around. They're there for all the deployments, bumpy returns to the states and babies.
This book does an incredible job of exploring what it's like to be a fish out of water for Simone as she learns this new military world. I found it fascinating.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
