Read while travelling between Cape Town, Johannesburg and London over a few days. Only put it down when managing luggage and emigrating emotions. Read in passport controls and boarding gate queues, the Lizzy line and final few pages on the SouthEastern before I arrived home. I looked around to see if anyone could see how stunned I was at the final few chapters. No cigar.

“I would love a rundown of the research that went into this. Burke includes so many details and intimacies of this micro-culture that put words to passing almost-thoughts I’ve had. I found it incredibly satisfying. Couldn’t read it fast enough.”

“Wowza. A great read and/or listen. Trad wife life gone awry. Author and TikTok darling, Caro Claire Burke, is also co-host of podcast Diabolical Lies (see rec), with Katie Gatti Tassin. NYT review here.”

“Loved this. Ate it up. Couldn’t put it down. Seems so culturally relevant right now and can’t wait to see the movie they allegedly cast Anne Hathaway in.”
