Busy woman seeks wife by Annie Sanders

This particular book is not normally the type of novel I like to read, but the title grabbed my attention and I was intrigued to find out what it was all about. I was quite surprised. I am able to somewhat sympathise a little with the main character of the book. I know what it’s like to be a busy woman in this day and age and never seem to find the time to get things done, especially when it comes to household chores.
The story follows the life of Alex, a marketing executive for a global sportswear company who never seems to find time to manage her sky rocketing career with the day-to-day necessities of life, such as cleaning her house, grocery shopping, cooking, and looking after her aging and retired actress of a mother. This is where her best friend Saffron comes up with the idea of seeking out a wife to help her out. They place an advertisement in the local paper to find the perfect person for the position. But, not everything goes according to plan. This opened up the opportunity for quite a few hilarious situations that kept you absorbed in to the end.
You’ll enjoy this light hearted novel that is a great satisfying read. It is insightful, moving, uplifting, and funny all in one book.
