Book Review: Wifey by Judy Blume

Synopsis from Goodreads
Title: Wifey
Author: Judy Blume
Publication Date: 2005, originally first published 1978
Publisher: Berkley Trade

With more than four million copies sold, Wifey is Judy Blume's hilarious, moving tale of a woman who trades in her conventional wifely duties for her wildest fantasies-and learns a lot about life along the way. 

Sandy Pressman is a nice suburban wife whose boredom is getting the best of her. She could be making friends at the club, like her husband keeps encouraging her to do. 

Or working on her golf game.  Or getting her hair done.  But for some reason, these things don't interest her as much as the naked man on the motorcycle...

My Review

Well, it was an okay book and it was actually a fast read. But I am not a fan with all of the mature stuff in it :/
Sandy basically just needs more love and attention. She realizes that by the time her kids left for summer camp leaving her all alone at home with her non-caring husband, well as she sees it anywayz (it can be true somehow because he can really be such an ass). She also mainly wants to start and make her own decisions cuz from the time she was born to the time she got married, her decisions were basically made by either her mom or her husband, Norman.
As soon as she realizes that she can be in control of her mind and body, she starts to be a little bit adventurous or may I say "A LOT".
It was a bit cheesy with her lover and all, she just seemed too needy.

Well, overall, the end was simple and nice. I came to love Norman as I found out more about his character, wherein he really wants their mariage to work out.
I recommend it to whoever wants a fast read

3/5
