The Wife by Meg Wolitzer
4.25
funny reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Started slow and was drawn out at times but I really enjoyed this and especially liked the last 20%. I liked the twist towards the end. First time reading this author’s work and I liked the style and commentary on womanhood & being a wife in society. It is about identity, fairness, marriage & life’s purpose & accomplishments. Lots of passages that I wanted to underline but it was a library book so I’ll have to purchase this.
