"So far this feels a little mean-spirited. The main character is such a terrible person that it feels like an insult to influencers and trad wives. I am neither, and I have a problem with the subset of trad wives who want all women to become like them. I also have a problem with kids being used by influencers, which is happening in the book. But I'm sure nearly all have some redeeming qualities." — Aug 18, 2026 07:50AM
