Description
She said yes to love. And the chip that would make it last forever…
I never dreamed of a fairy-tale ending. Not when I grew up hungry, invisible, and utterly unchosen.
So when Ivan offered me love, safety, and a way out, I said yes. Even when he suggested we be chipped—an experimental neural implant that would lock in our love forever—I hesitated. But what else was I going to do? Go back to nothing?
Now I live in a luxury apartment. I smile when I’m supposed to. I feel what I’m supposed to feel.
Because the chip guarantees it.
I am a happy wife.
But then I find something I was never meant to see—proof that my husband may have other plans for me.
I want to believe I’m imagining things. That I’m tired. Paranoid.
But what if I’m not?
Because the only way out of this marriage… is death.
A Happy Wife is a gripping and addictive psychological thriller with a speculative twist, perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Kiersten Modglin, and Shari Lapena.

A Happy Wife is a gripping psychological thriller that seemingly heads towards the sci-fi genre and keeps you immersed the entire story.
The story follows Ivy Knight, a woman who was microchipped and programmed along with her husband, Ivan, to love each other forever, but she begins to have doubts after discovering something that had been hidden. Along the way she discovers the people around her are not what they seem and her home and "happy" life begin to crumble as all the lies become unraveled.
This novel is great for fans of Frieda McFadden's The Housemaid as the writing is sharp and the story is expertly woven with many twists that you don't see at first. There's also the underlying question of how far should we go with science, technology, and health to achieve perfection and happiness.
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel as I was needing a break from the romantasy that I had been consuming so this was the perfect "palate cleanser". I think Nara's writing is brilliant from what I've seen in this book and can't wait to read other works by her.
