Protagonists learn lessons but don't get off easy (I thought about it and the pun is not intended, but what would Freud say? If this were a romance, Sandy would come to grips with her unhappiness, the shallowness of her existence, and falseness of her mother's and peer group's expectations.

That would explain her utter lack of emotional connection, and there are those fantasies of violence against her husband. According to the introduction by Blume the main character dumps the husband and goes on an adventure. Collins and Friedman’s past credits include shows such as “In Living Color,”“Will and Grace,”“Big Love,” and “Drop Dead Diva. You somehow can't read this book without envisioning everyone walking around dressed like the characters from the Mary Tyler Moore show . Where The Awakening had a somewhat sympathetic protagonist, Wifey's main protagonist is just annoying and dare I say it, ignorant.I loathed every character in this book (who were poorly introduced by the way, and left me wondering if I missed something "Who ARE these people? She receives thousands of letters a year from readers of all ages who share their feelings and concerns with her. So yes i think I can say I still enjoy a good sex scene in my books ;) and Judy Blue is very capable of that. I think I may know a Norman irl, someone who wants a routine and freedom to do his guy stuff and not have to say all that touchy-feely junk and is so confused why his wives have not stayed with him.

No one is likable, no one is relatable and to have this novel linked to the social shock waves from women's liberation just depresses me. Sandy, after being shocked by the act on her lawn and the fact that she saw another mans erection that's not her husband, starts spiraling into fantasy land. Honestly, I’ve thought a lot about these inner and outer stories because Sandy is exactly what my mom’s story of herself always was. First, there is the encounter with her drunken brother-in-law who is perhaps feeling a little insecure about his life with his wife, her sister. But I was NOT prepared for the distinctly unsexy sex in this tale of ultra-annoying suburban ennui nor the tale of how the title character has an affair with her brother-in-law who is also.It was a nicely timed read alongside this week's Mad Men, although my notes are from three weeks old at this point and I can't remember which particular episode that is. I hate that if this is book about women being stuck in their choices, why Sandy and Norm stay together, but Sandy doesn't have an ounce of remorse for her actions and seems to stay because there is no other choice.

i like my job just fine, but if i didn't have to work, if all i had to do was read all day and occasionally frost a cake? Written in the 1970s, Wifey is about Sandy, a wife whose two children are currently away at summer camp and how she fills her time without them at home. I wouldn't suggest this book for anyone younger than 18 and only because by then they are legally an adult and can go to war so I guess they could handle it. I can understand how this book could have been considered juicy and a bit scandalous when it was originally published but compared to other books, it felt cringey.So I put the book down, convinced that yes, it was true, there was a line between the adult world and the world I was in at that moment, and one day I'd be able to pick up WIFEY and know where that guy was going. Sandy the 31-year-old protagonist is described by her husband as possessing half a brain, and sometimes it feels as if Wifey is written for a younger (than Sandy) audience, or for women who fit Sandy's IQ description.

My point is that this isn't a character who gets caught up in the moment experiencing things in her life that she didn't think previously possible, this is someone who is displaying weak moral character with a side of complete lack of judgement.I have been on the hold list for our e-book copy for months at this point, having been number three hundred something when I first joined. One of my coworkers was absolutely aghast that I would even think of reading it without first reading this Judy Blume classic.
