The perfect wife. The perfect life. The perfect nightmare.

Hope is a beautiful 'trad wife' social media star with a beefcake husband, six cute kids and millions of followers of their picture-perfect life.

When they employ English content creator Melissa to promote their brand she has no idea what she has signed up for.

Behind the veneer of domestic bliss lies a nightmare - and she will be lucky to escape with her life.

A twisty, darkly comic thriller perfect for fans of Bella Mackie and Julie Cohen.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Really great concept and idea. There’s so much I want to say, but I don’t want to give anything away so you have to listen to it for yourself

Really enjoyed this!

This writer has a fresh, fun way of putting together a story and characters that are flawed and believable. She writes with great energy so it’s easy to overlook any rather far fetched elements, making them flow naturally. Also interesting in the face of the many trad wife / culty tales from real life. Enjoyed and recommend.

Great fun

Wonderful narrator and surprisingly funny - normally go for typical crime thrillers but this was a refreshing change!

Enjoyed more than anticipated

Loved it! It’s made me want to bake more even though I’m definitely not a traditional wife!

Very well written and character’s reactions are justified. Initially, i didn’t like melissa’s character much and thought why is she making irrational choices.
Without giving away spoilers just stick with the book and everything will be clear before the ending. Interesting topic and brave writing
