“Just powered through this in roughly 24 hours and HOLY SHIT... I am lost for words right now, except for WOW I FUCKING LOVED THIS Update: I've created a whole collection dedicated to my obsession with this book!”

“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.”
