Book: The Trad Wife by Carrie Hughes

Reviewed by Anonymous

Rating: 4/5

Single mother and content manager, Melissa, receives a job offer from a popular trad influencer and it couldn't have had better timing. But what if everything is not as it seems? What happens when both women seem to be working with ulterior motives? What is hiding behind the veneer of the perfect happy family?
I really enjoyed the plot and concept of The Trad Wife. I do think certain parts of the story dragged a little but overall I was hooked and finished the book within a day!
Melissa's character drove me nuts at times with the decisions she was making and I would have loved to have seen more from Faith.
I think The Trad Wife is a timely piece and examines aspects of both the impact of social media AND the impact of trad wife influencers.
Content warnings: SA, religious trauma, religious control
The Trad Wife is a mystery/thriller and would be a good read for not only those who enjoy thrillers but those who are new to the genre as well.
