The Mad Wife

The Mad Wife

Meagan Church

From bestselling author Meagan Church comes a haunting exploration of identity, motherhood, and the suffocating grip of societal expectations that will leave you questioning the lives we build―and the lies we live.  They called it hysteria. She called it survival. Lulu Mayfield has spent the last five years molding herself into the perfect 1950s housewife. Despite the tragic memories that haunt her and the weight of exhausting expectations, she keeps her husband happy, her household running, and her gelatin salads the talk of the neighborhood. But after she gives birth to her second child, Lulu's carefully crafted life begins to unravel. When a new neighbor, Bitsy, moves in, Lulu suspects that something darker lurks behind the woman's constant smile. As her fixation on Bitsy deepens, Lulu is drawn into a web of unsettling truths that threaten to expose the cracks in her own life. The more she uncovers about Bitsy, the more she questions everything she thought she knew―and soon, others begin questioning her sanity. But is Lulu truly losing her mind? Or is she on the verge of discovering a reality too terrifying to accept? In the vein of The Bell Jar and The Hours, The Mad Wife weaves domestic drama with psychological suspense, so poignant and immersive, you won't want to put it down.

  • Judge a book by its cover 👀

    Have you ever picked up a book solely because of its cover? Without actually knowing what it’s about?

    For me it was The Poisoner by I.V Ophelia. The cover was so mystical and pretty! I just had to get it lol even if the story was terrible, it’d look cute on my shelf. But it was actually such a good book! The vibes were perfect after wanting something vampy and gothic to read after watching Dracula in theaters! Can’t wait for book 2 now!!

  • Book related trinkets and gifts ✨

    I’m so envious of people who have giant rooms in their homes dedicated to books, and I love even more seeing the little trinkets and ornaments people have on the shelves that relate to whatever theme of books are on those shelves. Does anyone have any trinkets or ornaments that are book related that they absolutely love or are unique in anyway? My best friend knows The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is my favourite book so for Christmas she got me a Addie LaRue themed bookmark vase to put on my shelf and I adore it so much!

  • Music

    I know some books come with a playlist

    Put aside the books with playlists like Butcher and Blackbird , becka mack , etc and just think about whatever you're reading or about to read.

    If you could what song(s) would you put on a playlist for that book? Or have you made a playlist for it yourself?

    If you don't want to do that , I have another question for you then:

    What would be your own playlist if you could write a book or song? Or what is a song that reminds you of your current read ?

    Question help was from a friend. Thank you Lucy

  • Are you a, multiple books at-a-time reader ?

    And if so, do you limit yourself to a certain amount of books, or do you go gungho and mood read whatever feels right?

    I, myself am a multiple-book reader. I also have adhd, which I feel influences this, as my brain sticks to books that interest me in the current mood. I’m trying to limit myself to 4-5 books, as I’m not able to remember so easily, and end up re-reading a whole lot of books I’ve paused on and didn’t pick up cause my mood didn’t grant it.

    Do you experience this too? Neurodivergent or not, I’d love to hear of your stories and experiences x3.
