It started with a droopy eyelid.

Or did it?

Alice Buckle is 44 and for the most part, she has never felt or looked her age. But this morning is different. It could be because Alice is about to turn the same age that her mother was when she died. It could be that after twenty years of marriage there just wasn't a lot of excitement anymore. She is constantly analyzing her two children, Peter and Zoe...

was she bored?

Then Alice receives an email offering her to be part of a n online Marriage study. Alice fills out the basic information and within a few days discovers she has been excepted into the study, and for the purposes of anonymity, she will now be known as Wife 22 for all correspondence. She is assigned a caseworker (Researcher 101) who will coach her through and question she has. And the questions start coming in.

It's almost like a double life. While Alice on the outside appears to be still Alice, she is also Wife 22. As the questions continue Alice strikes up a side conversation with Researcher 101. Before she knows it, Alice has questions of her own. Questions that could change her family dynamics forever.


Wife 22 is written much like the Bridget Jones books were, except instead of Bridget writing to her diary, Alice is answering questions about her marriage and chatting with Researcher 101. the book created some realistic scenarios. Job trouble. worrying about your kids, using the internet, in this case Facebook for escapes...
