About This Book
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.

Our Review
This sharp, unflinching novel explores suburban discontent through the eyes of Sandy Pressman, a woman whose picture-perfect life masks a deep well of boredom and sexual frustration. When Sandy begins acting on her secret fantasies, she discovers that breaking the rules of wifely behavior comes with complicated consequences that challenge everything she thought she knew about marriage and fulfillment.
Blume's signature honesty about female desire and domestic life feels just as revolutionary today as when this book first shocked readers decades ago. The novel’s blend of humor and raw vulnerability makes it an enduring read for anyone questioning the scripts they've been handed about relationships and personal happiness. You’ll find yourself both cringing and cheering for Sandy as she navigates the messy, exhilarating space between being what others expect and discovering who she truly wants to become.
