The Younger Wife by Sally Hepworth
3.0


Unpopular opinion overall.

I read other books by the author and really enjoyed them.

The younger wife, though, went over the top with many topics/issues for my liking and enjoyment in here. I know that maybe that’s why this is a must read story because it will bring so many questions to be discussed and shared.

I can’t go over the fact that while we really want more reliable stories in our life, there are some that make me feel so bad for actually promoting patriarchy and how the men are perfect and everyone still believes and follows their demands. All while the women in his life are just normal and stupid and I don’t even know how to name it anymore.

Kleptomania, Alzheimer's disease, the creepiness of having your adult daughter as bridesmaids while you marry a woman that has the same age as them… so many other unbelievable things…

Yes, it’s great written and keeps you intrigued by the overall plot because you want to know what’s happening in here, but I won’t say that I actually enjoyed this book.

Very grateful to the publisher for my review copy through NetGalley
