I received this e-arc from the publisher and NetGalley in return for an honest review.
Overall I enjoyed this book and read it in a couple of days. I completely understood the idea that these hard working women were needing extra assistance from their partners.
I felt like the main character Nora was relatable especially with how hard she works and always feeling like as a woman it was harder to get further in life. How her work at home and with her child was overlooked when it came to her husband and her boss.
Overall I give this a solid 3.5 stars, and the reason that I gave it 3.5 stars was because I found the plot very predictable and I found it a bit infuriating that Nora didn't cotton on sooner. I know that I am an 'outsider' looking in, but I just didn't fully buy it. However, the characters and the writing style did make up for this as I did want to see how it ended and how it was all wrapped up. The plot although I guessed what happened was a good one and enjoyable for what it was.
Would I recommend this book? Yeah I would, as it was an interesting premise and another reader may not pick up on a plot as quick as myself and enjoy it for everything it is.
