HUSBAND: “We need to find a moment to talk. It’s important��
WIFE (rendered speechless) thinking…”Is the marriage over?��

Rewind a week…and the story begins, told in the first person POV of the WIFE, over the course of one week, one COLORFUL day at a time��

⚠️ You will hear the words “MY HUSBAND�� so many times throughout this book that you will have already lost track of the number of times you have heard it, before MONDAY is even over.

That is by design, because she is in fact, OBSESSED with her husband.

Monday: “I’m in love with my husband or should I say, I’m still in love with my husband. I love my husband as much as the first day I met him.��

And, OBSESSED about wanting to be sexually desired by her husband.

But is her love and passion reciprocated?
She will TEST her husband often.

She doesn’t feel the need to spend time with friends, her parents or her CHILDREN-she only needs to spend time with her husband.

She will in fact, forget to kiss her children goodbye when she leaves the house, and be angry when her husband only gives her a peck on the cheek in greeting.

And, so help him, if he dares to try to discuss the weather!

She can JUSTIFY everything that SHE does.

Over analyzing everything that HE says and does, she will punish him in both passive aggressive ways when appropriate, and in ways more unforgivable and I couldn’t help but wonder if she was like this when the two married, or if had perhaps been a slow descent into madness over the fifteen years of their union.

YOU WILL LEARN THE TRUTH IN THE EPILOGUE

LIKE A CAR WRECK that you can’t help but peek at as you drive by-I couldn’t stop listening to this crazy AUDIBLE, narrated brilliantly by Kiiri Sandy.

This dark, entertaining, character study written by Maud Ventura and translated from French by Emma Ramadan runs for only 5h 33 minutes and I listened to it in one sitting.

It’s an impressive DEBUT, and the winner of France’s First Novel Prize.

I loved the glimpses into the culture of France-the exquisite descriptions of food, and family life, and of course, I was captivated by this MARRIAGE and our VERY unlikable WIFE.

Clearly, it’s not for everyone with a current average rating on ŷ������ of 3.74 but, it is UNIQUE and QUITE UNFORGETTABLE so it’s earning 5 stars from me!

Positive reviews on the same day by both Michelle H and Brandice, caught my attention and I am so glad they put this one on my radar!
