Summary

A debut novel by a best-selling nonfiction author, this is a witty, wholly entrancing story of the pleasures, pains and obsessions of contemporary life.

Lisa Blaize - teacher and would-be fashion writer, mother and second wife - feels out of place when her high-flying husband becomes the headmaster of a school in a country town. Isolated and far from her metropolitan upbringing, she turns to the one place where she learns she can be uninhibited.

But ‘Twitter may be my undoing’, Lisa discovers as her onetime private life becomes all too public. Soon she is dealing with an online stalker and her husband’s reputation is put at risk - but will she be able to give up her addiction?

From the gossip of the classroom to our obsession with instant communication, Look to Your Wife is witty and brilliantly observed, revealing the pleasures and pains of contemporary life.

Disappointing

That narrator was good at voice acting the different characters but the story overall was just lacklustre. There was no character that you can really bond with or care about and the ending was predictable and super disappointing. The descriptions of literally anything were not captivating at all. I enjoyed the contrast between the upper/middle class & working class lovers. Overall it was bad, I’m surprised I got to the end but I’m a finisher!
