Hello, readers! I wish I had a better name to call you all…

Anyways, I recently finished this whirlwind of a novel and I want to tell you about it!

The Startup Wife centers around a brilliant web designer, Asha. Asha goes into business with her new age husband Cyrus and Cyrus’ lifelong friend, Jules.

The three of them go from having hopeful discussions about what it would be like to offer our tech laden society an alternative to religion to potentially disrupting everything we think we know about community and faith.

In their mission to do so, they end up making a huge impact– but is that a good thing? The reader questions if the outcome of their dive into Silicon Valley is good for Asha, the brains of the operation, and Cyrus, the inspiration for and hopeful answer to the question: What is faith?

The Startup Wife does an excellent job of playing out the needling dread that comes with being gaslighted and shining a light on what its like to be a woman of color in tech, amongst a sea of white faces.

I encourage you to take a look at this shockingly relatable novel (Tahmima Anam does a wonderful job of employing realistic, casual humor throughout the book, which brings a lightness to some of its darker parts).

You can grab a digital copy here or you can chat up your local librarian.

See you next read!
