The Wife App by Carolyn Mackler
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read an advanced copy of The Wife App by Carolyn Mackler.
I loved the premise of The Wife App. It is well written and the drew me in right away. As the story went along though I found some of the storylines a bit strange. I felt like the author was tackling every social issue she could think of but then didn’t get to fully develop any of them. I also found the repetitive talk about the mental load of wives and the thinly veiled male bashing to be a bit tiresome.
It should be noted thar there is crude language and sexual content. This was not bothersome nor distracting to me but it might be for some readers.
I’d probably round up to 3.5 stars. Basically good, interesting premise but the execution was flawed in ways that did impact how much I enjoyed the book. The Wife App was my first book by this Carolyn Mackler and based on this experience I’d definitely read another one by her.
