Fresh, funny, brave, savage, smart - Tahmima Anam hits every note perfectly in this novel about our new reality and the age-old problems of men and women that no app can fix -- KAMILA SHAMSIE Impossibly timely and bewilderingly smart -- ELIF SHAFAK A sparkling comedy about love, work and the search for meaning in our lives, that is funny, tender, sometimes raunchy, always smart. It satirises these crazy times, but with compassion and elegance. A rambunctious, radiant riot of a novel -- MONICA ALI The Startup Wife is an extremely enjoyable, feminist rom-com - gloriously readable, irresistibly funny and even smarter than you realise until you turn the final, triumphant page. I loved this novel -- GILLIAN ANDERSON A brilliant and trenchant portrait of hi-tech America's frat-boy misogyny * * Observer * * Beneath its high-octane, hi-tech surface, The Startup Wife is a funny, poignant and super-smart story of ambition, independence and love - a brilliant portrait of the times we live in -- TASH AW Brilliant . . . if you enjoyed Self Care by Leigh Stein or Uncanny Valley by Anna Wiener you'll love this. A modern novel about love, start-ups, technology, ambition and the future, all wrapped up in one. It's very clever, but also subtle and very funny too. That sort of dry wit that makes you snort. [I] loved it . . . the perfect escapism -- EMMA GANNON Compulsive reading. A deliciously timely, whip-smart buoyant dissection of men and women on the rise and the dynamics at play -- IRENOSEN OKOJIE Like a boxset for your bedside . . . such a good read * * Stylist * * Tahmima Anam deftly uses humour to explore both start-up culture and the institution of marriage in an utterly charming and genuinely thoughtful way -- RUMAAN ALAM
