Reviews for The Trophy Wife
4 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I actually listened to this book on audio (okay, I cheated as it was on another app ☺️) but I was so impressed by this book (and the narration which is really great!) that I wanted to let others know how much I enjoyed it!
Very well written and absolutely compelling. I don’t know how it reads as a book, but if the audio becomes available here, I highly recommend you give it a try.
Unfortunately the cover art for the book is trite and misleading and does not give justice to the depth and scope of this story (which, in my opinion, is a portrait of one man’s deep loneliness, and his ultimate mental breakdown), so please don’t take that into your consideration as whether or not to listen/read.
In summary: Very, very, very, very good, and highly recommended! ? - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/52.5 ?
It's just such a tiresome book
It starts off really well and interesting, but then drags on. It's a one-dimensional story, and we don't get a feel of any other character, esp Ann his wife. She's crucial to the entire end, and we don't have any grip on her or her thoughts. Her last statements are so contrary to her established personality that it's surprising. A decent plot that could have benefited with the dual.pov kind of writing.
Jake is a miserable , spoilt brat. He's one of those who feels entitled to every happiness just because he believed he was deprived of his childhood. He really never grows up.
It was a really sad book that would have benefited with a heart to heart conversation between Jake and Ann.
