Synopsis
Because every wife deserves a happy ending. Three best friends decide they&’re finally done with their ex-husbands taking their work as wives and moms for granted. They&’re ready to monetize the mental load, stick it to their exes, and have a wild ride in the process in this novel that is &“fresh, funny, empowering, and totally satisfying&” (Judy Blume).Lauren, mother of twins, wakes up one morning to her Wife Alarm Bells sounding. She sleuths on her husband&’s phone and stumbles on a dirty secret that explodes her marriage. Madeline has it all—a penthouse apartment, a perfect daughter, and no-strings-attached romps with handsome men. But when she learns she might lose her child to her ex in England, it stirs up a decades-old personal tragedy. Sophie, with too much FOMO and never enough money, obsesses over her ex-husband&’s Family 2.0—all while keeping her true desires hidden, even from herself. It starts as a joke during a tipsy night out, as Lauren, Madeline, and Sophie rail against everything wives do for free. Let&’s build an app that monetizes the mental load. And maybe revenge on our exes in the process. Soon, the Wife App is born, and before long, it&’s the fastest growing start-up in New York City. But then life intervenes. Love intervenes. Ex-husbands intervene. And the consequences are bigger than anything Lauren, Madeline, or Sophie could have expected. Carolyn Mackler marks her debut into adult fiction with a rollercoaster ride of revenge and redemption that is at once a send-up of modern marriage and a celebration of female friendship and love in all forms.
