You all know what a tradwife is, don’t you? An always smiling, beautiful, perfectly made up woman who believes in submitting to her husband. Sometimes she has an influencer career on Instagram where she features her with perfectly groomed and behaved children and her start from scratch home meals. That describes the public personage of Madison March @_TrulyMadison. Behind the scenes, it’s all a lie, a lie discovered by Cally, hired to be the children’s tutor. Two sets of lies, one in the present and one from the past, set the plot in motion.
The Tradwife’s Secret is a quick read, exposing the underside of the world of influencers. Madison works for hours with assistants and videographers to film a short film spotlighting Madison making a healthy breakfast for her husband or teaching a lesson to her home schooled children. Madison is under so much pressure to be perfect and to hide the deeply buried lies that threaten to surface. How far would you go for money, fame and glamour? 5 stars.
Thank you to NetGalley, HQ and Liane Child for this ARC.

The Tradwife's Secret is a fast-paced, can't-put-down thriller that dives into the dramatic and ugly world of social media influencers. Madison March is the most successful tradwife influencer on social media with millions of followers. When Cally is hired to be a tutor for Madison's children, she believes this is an amazing opportunity. Cally has obsessively followed Madison from day one. However, once on the March ranch, Cally realizes that not all is to be believed. After signing a comprehensive NDA and with her own dangerous secrets, Cally is forced to keep her silence as she watches everything she thought was real unravel.
The Tradwife's Secret is told through multiple POVs: Madison, Cally, and aspiring tradwife Briana. The author does a tremendous job of highlighting the differences between Madison and Briana's experiences. Throughout the changing POVs, I truly felt anger, disgust, frustration, hope, understanding, and then . . . shock. There were definitely a few twists I did NOT see coming. I love how the author weaves all of the storylines together. I will absolutely be recommending The Tradwife's Secret to anyone looking for an exciting, gripping, edge-of-your-seat thriller for 2025!

This was crazy good, it's super good. I let it all-in-one night. Good. I don't know a whole lot about #tradwife- but madison is the queen of them, the queen of the tradwives on instagram- but as was anything on social media, things are a little bit different behind the lens- madison has her perfect life with her four perfect children and her perfect husband living in her perfect log home in montana-- madison, who's in charge of her empire, but someone who is always nipping at her heels to trying to take away her crown.So she's got to come up with new content all the time, and so one step ahead of her husband while still being the trade wife she is there's a lot of secrets in madison's life from who really teaches the children to her perfect husband to what happened in her past this book has a lot of secrets, a lot of twists and turns and kept me guessing until it all clicked almost all the way through. But it's so good, definitely.Definitely recommend definitely worth it
