Wifey

De: Judy Blume

Narrado por: Kristen Sieh, Judy Blume

With more than four million copies sold, Wifey is Judy Blume's hilarious, moving tale of a woman who trades in her conventional wifely duties for her wildest fantasies - and learns a lot about life along the way.

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....

Reseñas de la Crítica

“It works perfectly! Wit, pathos, and the ring of real life.” (Los Angeles Examiner)

“A very likeable heroine...a nice, upper-middle-class housewife with a very dirty mind.... Hide it where the children won't see it.” (The Cincinnati Enquirer)

I always liked Judy Blume's books...

I think it's a slice of the social changes at that
time. People were expecting too much from marriage and sex, I think. Like it was going to solve boredom or a bad match.

It's obviously very sexually oriented, with some derogatory terms of the time. This character is Jewish, and some characters are
a bit biased to black people and women. It wasn't unusual at that time. "Vastly improved" compared to previously, even.

Loved Wifey

It puts many women’s thoughts right “on”!
My first Judi B book and the reader was awesome! Definitely reading more of her stuff.

Connection with the main character

I knew from the preview that I would like this book…….and I loved it! You may think if it’s not exactly in your era, that you can’t connect. Not true. Absolutely loved this book and crave for more like it!!

Unexpected

This was quite a diversion from the typical Judy Blume book and I loved it. Well, there reports that were humorous. There are also parts that were very realistic. It is definitely relatable to the upper middle class suburbanites. I wish Judy Blume had written some more adult type books.

Great

love judy blume and all her Stories. your right in there with the character

Great read !

I loved it ! I almost felt as I was the character in the story. I have the whole book playing as a movie in my head.

Great

I really enjoyed the reader. She kept me engaged. She sounded authentic. She wasn’t boring at all.

Not pleasurable

My mine issue with my enjoyment of this book was that I couldn’t stand the Wifey. She just irritated me just like her vaginal itch irritated her. She seemed to lack a moral compass and was pretty selfish. Husband’s and wives should not make each other unhappy and they should share in and celebrate each other’s happiness but not be responsible for individual happiness.
The performance was really good.

Wifey

Wa-Wa-Wa. I would have left the idiot before I got pg the 2nd time.

Uncomfortable

I prefer Judy Blume’s children’s books to her adult ones. WIFEY felt very realistic for the time period in which it was written, which made for an uncomfortable read. It reminded me of the bad but not terrible marriages I saw in the 1970s, where a lot men routinely were heads of the household and didn’t treat women equally, especially their wives. WIFEY is uncomfortable while also being a triumph as Sandy finds her voice and embraces herself as a sexual being.
