In Trad Wife, we are following Camille, An American seemingly trad wife influencer-to-be. She is trying her best to keep up with her fellow trad wives models on Instagram and… To have the baby she think would be the viral element of her lifestyle social media account as a trad wife.
But Camille’s life is not the perfect traditional home and family she think she wants and things are starting to get a bit sour with her husbands. Surely, a baby will solve everything.
With a husband more focus on his work (Is he really?) and barely touching her, this miraculous baby will have to be really miraculous.
Fortunately, the well in the garden of her new home seems to be more than ready to offer another father, not so traditional, for Camille baby’s quest.
Surely her husband, won’t discover, and her followers either ? And what if her baby is not exactly a milk drinker and the noisy neighbour seems more tasty ?
What if she is ready to change everything for her new baby ? After all, she’s got new responsibilities, more important than forcing herself to fit an armful and sexist lifestyle she’s not really believing (but has been conditioned to think she needed) in for a cheating husband ?
First of all, thanks to Net Galley, the author and Crooked Lane Books for sharing this story with me.
Now to be completely honesty, I found the cover catchy but I hesitated before I request the book because I was ready for a new trad wife stupidity and the raging feminist in me roared.
But I took the risk after I made some researches about the author and then I get it. This book was awesome.
It was creepy, gore, emotional and dark as hell but so funny and witty in a disturbing way. I Hate Graham of course and all those trad life influencers but I loved Camille so much. I rooted for her from the very beginning even during the first few moment where she is in full trad wife-to-be mode. Because you can see and feel that she is trying, to do her best, to fit somewhere and to have someone accepting her as she is and not for some twisted sexist bullshit male-made.
I like the fact that it is not overly smutty but that the scene are still graphic enough to show the growing connection between Camille and the well’s creature. I like that it is not turning everything around the creature but really stay focused on Camille, her feeling and her evolution. The horror/gory part is what wrapped it up for me.
I really had fun reading this book and totally recommend it. I’ll read this author’s other work !
