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.

  • To lurk or not to lurk: my conflict with forum posts

    Does anyone else struggle to find the balance between wanting to keep up with forum posts but also wanting to like… actually read the book? 😭

    One of my favourite things about pagebound is getting to engage with the forum for books I’m currently reading. However, as someone with the attention span of a goldfish, I sometimes find myself pausing mid-read to check the forum for posts on specific passages/sections and getting distracted away from the actual book… for the entirety of my allocated reading time 🫣

    If you’re a regular poster/commenter, how do you manage to stay engaged with book forums while also prioritising reading?

    I think I kind of understand what the author is trying to do, but maybe it would be more reflective with a plot. Also, I don’t know, is it normal for me to feel claustrophobic when seeing visuals of space or descriptions of space? Maybe that’s why I couldn’t connect with this book whatsoever.
