Sadie Drew is the world’s worse wife. She only needs to walk into a room to make it untidy. She wears flannel pyjamas in bed. She can’t cook. She would rather eat her husband’s socks than pair them. But she’s a busy working mother not a wifebot and her husband Tom loves her as she is. Until he gets a new high-pressure job, the power balance flips and things rapidly start to change.

There are his colleagues’ terrifying uber-wives to entertain. Tom works later and later. Then there are endless rows, dark secrets from the past that refuse to go away, and the smell of another woman’s perfume on his suit. Sadie has a choice; risk everything, or throw herself into her marriage and transform herself into the perfect modern wife… But what is a perfect wife anyway?
