Customer Reviews

great read!

I wasn't sure what to expect of this novel, but what I got was a read I couldn't put down. I could really relate to so much of it. Maybe that's why it was both poignant and hysterically funny to me. The main character, Julia, has a wonderful sense of humor in spite of all the crises and drudgery of suburban life. I want more! Please, Sara Susannah Katz, write more!

Fantastic!

This book was absolutely amazing! I honestly read it in less than a day because I could not put it down. Although it is listed as a romance, it is really more like reality. Watching the struggles of Julia as she goes from the good little girl to the girl gone bad is both exciting and, at times, saddening. Very descriptive, but allowing one's imagination to soar, the book has just the right amount of detail wthout getting too wordy. I found myself rooting for Evan (largely due to the fact that he reminds me of my husband) as he "courts" Julia, scolding Michael for his inattentiveness, applauding Annie for her brazen attitudes toward most everything while supporting her friend, and cheering Julia in which ever decisions she made. Katz's first novel is a definate must read and a crowning achievement. BRAVO!!!

Recommended Read

Julia Flanagan has spent her entire life playing by the rules. She's been a good girl, a good wife and a good mother. But the way she views her life is about to change. When Julia realizes her friends find her boring, she takes a good hard look at her life and decided to make some changes. And does she ever make some changes. When Julia's friends dare her to do something bad, they probably didn't expect Julia to take them literally. Soon Julia is not just going through the motions of living, she IS living her life. On the edge! Julia is lying to her husband about the family pet. She's eating all the marshmallows in the cereal box. And... she's dangerously flirting with a medieval studies professor. A sexy and adoring medieval studies professor. Just how bad is Julia willing to be? First of all, Wife Living Dangerously is not a traditional romance, it's chick-lit. So, traditional contemporary romance readers beware: There is infidelity in this book. Wife Living Dangerously is an engaging look into the life of a woman finding her true self. The bad choices and the good. I related to Julia on so many levels; I ached for her and laughed with her. An appealing book, Wife Living Dangerously is a recommended read for all good girls who have ever thought about being bad. Annabelle Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed
