#45 Wife 22 by Melanie GideonMaybe it was those extra five pounds I’d gained. Maybe it was because I was about to turn the same age my mother was when I lost her. Maybe it was because after almost twenty years of marriage my husband and I seemed to be running out of things to say to each other.
But when the anonymous online study called “Marriage in the 21st Century” showed up in my inbox, I had no idea how profoundly it would change my life. It wasn’t long before I was assigned both a pseudonym (Wife 22) and a caseworker (Researcher 101).
And, just like that, I found myself answering questions.
I wasn't impressed by this book. It was pretty obvious who the anonymous researcher was. The main character made ridiculous choices and was unlikeable. From reading the comments at the end by the writer, I guess we were supposed to think it was funny. It wasn't .
