Wifey
Author: Judy Blume
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. Or getting her hair done. But for some reason, these things don't interest her as much as the naked man on the motorcycle...

I am a huge fan of Judy Blume. This was the first of her "adult" novels I read when I was about 18 and I'll always be a fan.

Strange book. I flew through it pretty darn quick. I didn't come to like the characters, didn't like what they did, didn't feel that all of those situations would come together like that at the same time... It was just weird.

The best part of Wifey was that it created a portrait of the typical 50's wife, trapped by a husband of the time period. Her situation was written so vividly, I could feel her angst. The husband's character is developed by the comments he makes to her which just made me sick. If you want to know why we had Women's lib...read this book to see what it was like in the 50's.

This is a fairly racy book, but it has a great overall message! It's a fast read.

This book was a good read, a little far fetched but still good.

Funny yet raunchy.

Wifey is a refreshing view of marriage in the 60's. Sandy's (the main character) view on the choices she has made and how she will change the course of her life now that she has made those choices is very funny and realistic. Even today it's a good idea to look back on how you got where you are today and where you will continue for tomorrow.

This is definitely an adult book. Not to be read by children. Very hard to put down after I started to read it.

Sandi is a very likable character. A good read, but a little dissapointed at the end.

I could barely put this book down. It took me less than three days to finish it. Judy Blume really says what alot of people deny they are thinking. I was, however, a little let down by the very end. I thought it left room for possibility but kind of came to an abrupt stop. Very good though.

I thought this book was going to be a bust becasue of the cover (it was a little dated) but it was awesome. I really liked the way that Judy Blume writes. I have never read her but I will continue to read her work. Good book!

Written in the late 70's it is a bit dated but it is a fun easy read. I found myself laughing out loud and Sandy's situations. Even though its from the 70's it is still relatable, fun and easy.
