The synopsis of this audiobook immediately drew me in, and it definitely delivered on its promise. While I found the ending somewhat predictable, it was still an entertaining and engaging read. I especially enjoyed the dual timeline, which added an intriguing layer of mystery and suspense as the lives of the two trad wives slowly intertwined.

That said, I couldn’t help but notice an underlying political tone and what felt like a one sided portrayal of trad wives. Though it didn’t take away from my overall storyline, I had hoped for a contrasting character or perspective to show that not all women in this lifestyle are victims or forced into their choices.

What truly made this book stand out for me was Lauryn Allman’s narration. She brought these characters to life in vivid, sometimes chilling, ways that made them feel truly diabolical. Overall, this was a fun and fast paced read.
