Just Be Cool, Jenna Sakai

From Chandler Baker, the New York Times bestselling author of Whisper Network comes The Husbands, a novel that asks: to what lengths will a woman go for a little more help from her husband?Nora Spangler is a successful attorney but when it comes to domestic life, she packs the lunches, schedules the doctor appointments, knows where the extra paper towel rolls are, and designs and orders the holiday cards. Her husband works hard, too... but why does it seem like she is always working so much harder?When the Spanglers go house hunting in Dynasty Ranch, an exclusive suburban neighborhood, Nora meets a group of high-powered women--a tech CEO, a neurosurgeon, an award-winning therapist, a bestselling author--with enviably supportive husbands. When she agrees to help with a residents wrongful death case, she is pulled into the lives of the women there. She finds the air is different in Dynasty Ranch. The women arent hanging on by a thread. But as the case unravels, Nora uncovers a plot that may explain the secret to having-it-all. One thats worth killing for. Calling to mind a Stepford Wives gender-swap, The Husbands imagines a world where the burden of the "second shift" is equally shared--and what it may take to get there. A MACMILLAN AUDIO production from Flatiron Books The Husbands is both a gripping, well-crafted mystery and an insightful critique of motherhood and marriage in the modern age--working mothers everywhere will feel seen in the best possible way." --Kimberly McCreight, New York Times bestselling author of Reconstructing Amelia and A Good Marriage
