Wife 22
If you follow this site, you have heard all about this book. Think Bridget Jones Diary combined with I Don’t Know How She Does It. Interested now, aren’t you? The paperback comes out February 12th. Look at the fabulous paperback cover with the quote by another favorite author, Adriana Trigiani:

I first reviewed Wife 22 last March during our March Madness event here. Then, I loved it so much I included it in our 20 Reads for Memorial Day. And, of course, it made our Top Books of 2012. I am so excited to share it with the #Gr8books book club. You will grow to quickly love Alice/Wife 22.
From the publisher, “Alice has been married to her husband, William, for twenty years. Though she can still remember the first time they met like it was yesterday, these days she finds herself posting things on Facebook that she used to confide to him. So when she’s invited to participate in an anonymous online survey on marriage and love, she finds that all her longings come pouring out as she dutifully answers questions under the name “Wife 22.”
Evaluating her responses is “Researcher 101,” who seems to listen to her in a way that William hasn’t in a very long time, and before she knows it, she finds herself trying hard not to e-flirt with him. Meanwhile, her elderly father is chatting on Facebook, her fifteen-year-old daughter is tweeting, and everything in her life is turning upside down.”

sounds like a fun one, my brother is totally sucked into online social media, you can’t talk to him anymore because he’s always fiddling with his phone or on his laptop, or when he’s home on his regular computer
I’m reading Saving Mars by Cidney Swanson, but these books sound awesome!
