Not Quite Up To Blumes Usual Excellent Standard But fun!
|

I bought this book because after spending my childhood reading Judy's books and then moving on to Smart Women and Summer Sisters, I knew I had to! However I was a little disoppointed with the book in some ways, it didnt possess Judys usual charm, her way of making us relate to characters etc. Saying this though I still thorougly enjoyed the book it was naughty, sexy and fun and I loved Sandy! For all Judy Blume fans this book is a must, you may be a little disoppointed though, but read it!

Read this BEFORE Summer Sisters
|
|
I am ecstatic when it comes to Judy Blume's books! But I read Summer Sisters first, knowing that Wifey was her first adult fiction. I should have listened to my instinct. Summer Sisters was amazing, I felt that Wifey was little dry and not as good as expected from Judy Blume. OK reading, just read it before Summer Sisters.

I was excited to get this book because I like most of Judy's word. This book was a quick read, but the ending was very disapointing and I found very little depth to it. A good, quick read, but if you are looking for something to really dive into, I recommand her new book, Summer Sisters much higher than this!

An enjoyable fast read

When I was a kid I read every Judy Blume book published including certain parts of Wifey! I've finally taken the opportunity to read the entire book and found it my favorite of her adult novels. The story pulled me right through and I read the whole thing in one day! That's tough with three kids running around, believe me! The book was sexy, honest and in many parts, hilarious. The characters were very believable, so much that I wanted to ring several of their necks! I highly recomend this book, especially if you've enjoyed her other books, but take my advice, if you have curious kids; HIDE IT!

Entertaining

Sandy's sexual escapades are not the only good part of the book. Everyone has a teenage romance that they wish could last forever. Sandy and Shep are the example of this, but reality comes inot the book and wrecks the relationship, as it often does in life. Sandy, Shep, and Lisbeth are the only down-to-earth characters in the entire book. Norman, Myra, the hoochies from the club, and even Jennifer and Bucky are shallow and boring characters. With an tense and unexpected turn at the end of the book, the novel's plot thickens. I reccomend reading Wifey instead of renting a movie on a lazy weekend.
