It's the 1950s and we meet the happy, perfect wives who know how to entertain and take care of their family.

Everything isn't as perfect as it seems, though.

Lulu knew she had to make good impressions on everyone especially since they loved her jello salads.

Things changed after her husband was trying to get a promotion, she had a second baby, new neighbors moved in, and Lulu became obsessed with the new neighbor Bitsy and overwhelmed with her life.

Lulu struggled every day and tried to cope with no help from her husband, and she couldn't figure out why Bitsy was always smiling?

We follow Lulu as she tries to be the perfect wife, tries to figure out if she is going mad, and tries to find out what really is going on with Bitsy.

Then you will have your jaw drop at the twist and will be glad you weren't a housewife at that time….housewives who cared for everyone but themselves.

THE MAD WIFE is an unsettling read, but also an enlightening one.

This book will be another favorite for fans of Meagan Church. 5/5
