October Staff Pick: Trad Wife by Saratoga Schaefer

“Camille Deming is the perfect Trad Wife, posting her life on social media. The only problem is...Her husband isn’t giving her the attention she wants.

Her followers on social media are asking, “When are you having a baby?” What measures will she go to so she can have a baby, in order to fit into the ?

There’s a creepy “wishing” well behind her house in the woods... She grabs a penny and flips it in...

This book right here was insanity! It’s a good representation of how social media puts so much pressure on influencers, and the users that follow them. Nine out of 10 stars for me!”

— Danielle | Cayce-West Columbia Branch
