The Wife App by Carolyn Mackler

3.0

Historically girls are raised with the idea that they should want to be a wife and a mom. Throw in to that mix is you can have it all by adding a successful career. While there is nothing wrong with wanting to have it all there is the problem of doing it all. Often it is doing it all with little help.

Three best friends have decided that they are going to keep doing it all but think it is time that women should be compensated for all of their work. The Wife App is born, or should I say developed? Through the app you can hire a wife to do all the jobs of life you don't like. Say you hate filling out school forms, there is a wife that will do it. Pay a monthly fee and have access to your own wife. Maybe you are a women who kind of likes filling out those forms. Sign up to be a wife and actually get paid to do it. Seems like a glorious win win. This is how our story begins.

You will follow the app development and the bumps along the way. Those of the app and those of our three protagonists. Overall, it is a pretty good read. I liked getting to know these characters and they are all pretty likeable. It just didn't seem to all flow well. The premise of this book is that life is messy and hard. I didn't really feel that with these women. The book is a slow burn until the last quarter of the book. A pretty good read,and if you want to make the Wife App a real thing, sign me up. I need someone to chauffeur my kids around.
