The Startup Wife is about a Bangladeshi-American woman, Asha, who forms a startup with her husband Cyrus and his best friend Julian. It's an app that provides personalized rituals, and it takes the world by storm. Asha codes everything. She built the company. But when it takes off, it's Cyrus (the unlikely CEO) who gets all the credit for it, naturally. It's very funny at times, but also underscores how women have to work twice as hard to be taken half as seriously in anything and everything. If you have any interest in or knowledge of startup culture and the tech industry (in the book, they work in an incubator that's only preparing tech for the apocalypse, which I thought was funny), you will enjoy this.

One thing I'll say is that I didn't expect this to end with the dawn of the pandemic and I really didn't expect that to have such an effect on me as it did.
