You see and hear women talking about how much their "free" work would be worth on the job markets, but no one has ever figured out how to make it pay....until now. This wildly entertaining story brings these three women to life as they decide to get paid for their efforts. I recommend it to every Mom who needs a break.

I'm always interested to see how other people live their lives. I feel like this book gave me some insight, especially as a wife and stay-at-home-mom.
It had a solid premise, and I loved the friendship between each character. Getting to know them throughout the book, their quirks, and seeing their growth was fun too.
It just didn't really add any actually umph for me. It was okay, don't get me wrong, but just a bit forgettable.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of The Wife App by Carolyn Mackler.

Well I absolutely love the plot of this and highlighting all of the work that wives and mothers do that go unnoticed and unappreciated.

3.75 ⭐️ this book was great for the most part. I loved the premise of an app to help with mental load. There are so many times where there are just so many things to do and only one of me. This would be a great app to have sometimes! I did feel like the ending was a bit disjointed. There were some ending storylines that I felt like didn’t fit in the book and were just added so they could check the box of being “inclusive”. Overall it was a good book and I would recommend you read it!

While I liked the concept of this book, I just could not get into it.

Personally I had a hard time relating to the main characters. Overall it was a quick and fine read that I would recommend to some friends.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

I enjoyed the multiple POVs showcasing the friendship between Lauren, Madeline, and Sophie, all divorced, who start an app. Such a fun and easy read that would make a great Netflix show!

I liked this book! I enjoyed almost everything about it. Good plot, great pacing, awesome characters. 4 stars!

What a great read! I loved the committed and unfailing friendship of Lauren, Madeline and Sophie. Though thick and thin they have each other's backs. Aren't most great inventions created as a solution to a problem? Unexpectedly, they discover the solution to the never ending responsibilities of being a mothers and spouses through the development of a wife app that provides the 'extra set of hands' we all need to navigate this crazy, busy world. Highly enjoyable read with lots of drama and a little bit of spice. Highly recommend.

Thank you to the publisher for the review copy! I just couldn't get in the mood for this one, but I do love this author!

Unfortunately just not a book I am able to get into at this time. I hope to pick it up again at another point in time, but currently I am just not feeling it and am not in the mood for it. This is not a reflection of the book or the author, just simply my mood reading habits at this time.

The Wife App is a refreshing take on the romantic comedy genre, offering a feminist twist on familiar tropes. It's a fun and empowering read that celebrates the strength and resilience of women.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for sharing this book with me.

This is the first book I have read by this author and I will be looking for more. I absolutely loved this book and read it in one day. I would definitely recommend this book.

Amazing concept. Monetizing everything a woman has been doing for free for year? Obsessed. It was fast paced and made me all in love with all of the characters and their stories

This book was an absolute delight! Right from the start, it pulled me into the lively, relatable chaos of life’s daily demands—the mental load women carry every day, often without acknowledgment. The characters are witty, authentic, and full of charm, perfectly capturing the messy beauty of juggling roles as wives, mothers, friends, and more. I found myself connecting with each of them on such a personal level, and their warmth and humor truly brought the story to life. The romantic connections added another layer, making the narrative even more engaging and unique. This book was just so relatable!

It was a quick, fun read that I couldn’t put down! I’m already eager for a sequel—or, even better, a Netflix adaptation! With its funny, heartfelt take on friendship, single parenting, and life’s endless surprises, it’s practically made for the screen. I’m convinced it would be an instant box-office hit, and I’d be the first in line to see it!

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the opportunity to read this advance copy.

Full review to come on Goodreads and Amazon. Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for a review copy

I started this book some time ago, but I just couldn't get into it. So I am not the best person to review it. Sorry.

Carolyn Mackler’s debut adult novel, Because Every Wife Deserves a Happy Ending, is a refreshing and uproarious exploration of modern marriage and female empowerment. The story follows three best friends—Lauren, Madeline, and Sophie—who, fed up with their ex-husbands and the undervalued work of being a wife, launch a revolutionary app to monetize the "mental load" of domestic life. What begins as a whimsical revenge fantasy soon spirals into a whirlwind of unforeseen consequences, blending sharp wit with heartfelt moments. Mackler's narrative shines with its blend of humor, emotional depth, and insightful commentary on contemporary relationships. The novel is a spirited tribute to friendship and personal growth, and its rollercoaster of events and relatable characters make it an engaging and satisfying read.

This book tried to do too much. I really enjoyed the concept and most of the execution, but it felt like it wanted to hit every intersectional feminist aspect possible like a checklist instead of in a way that felt natural to the story.

What a cool concept! I’m in love with the writing in this need to immediately go out and find more books from her. Would re read this in a heartbeat!

Fun read. Full of emotion paired with real life twists and turns. Three friends create an app that helps hire Wives to get paid to do the mundane chores of everyday life. While in the process of creating this app they learn more about themselves and what really matters to them as individuals and their families. While the concept of the book is lighthearted it also has an underlying level of more complex issues and how people view/value themselves. This was my first Carolyn Mackler novel but I will definitely be looking out for more of her books!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you NetGalley, Carolyn Mackler and Simon & Schister for hearing my honest review. Looking forward to reading more with you
