Thanks to Simon and Schuster for the free copy of this book.
- THE WIFE APP is part social commentary, part juicy beach read.
- I loved that the three main characters all came to the Wife App from different vantage points. Even though on the surface their lives were quite similar, they all had different reasons for participating. I very much enjoyed the gossipy, juicy social and relationship dramas they all went through during the launch of the app (PS - the cover doesn't say it, but this book is queer!)
- The book only touches briefly on the class aspect of an app like this - how this is simply transferring the mental loads of wealthy women onto gig workers - but doesn't really do anything about it. It seemed like the author was checking a box here so as not to get dinged for it.
