‘Can an influencer still be influenced?’ And can she be persuaded to kill? These questions in Jo Piazza’s immersive new murder mystery hover in the pages like the scent of freshly baked sourdough bread. Paced like a new egg-apron going viral, Everyone Is Lying to You is Gone Girl…but make it trad wives. Trad wives have mad skills and Piazza lets these women sparkle like freshly squeezed sunshine on a lemon-scented farm table. These women are not here to play.”
—Tia Levings, author of New York Times Bestselling A Well-Trained Wife: My Escape from Christian Patriarchy
When I first starting writing a gonzo bananas #tradwife murder mystery I never thought it would be coming out as a book into the world we are currently in. I began writing this as entertainment, as a way to try to make sense of the strangeness we were seeing online.
And now this book feels like a prequel to The Handmaids’ Tale (which already has an excellent prequel already), and a very uncomfortable depiction of our reality.
I have been dying to share this cover with you for over a month now. I love everything about it and I hope you do too.
I especially love this cover blurb from
who has lived and escaped from the #tradwife life.My mantra while writing this was “make it weirder,” and I lived up to that. We may or may not have a cameo by an AI baby, a hurricane influencer who broadcasts in front of a green screen while safe at home in Chicago and many a henfluencer.
Someone may or may not get a certain body part chopped off and put into the freezer next to the sour dough.
This book goes to all the places!
But I also hope it gives us a way out of our current reality, a path to something beyond this obsession with #tradwives and stripping women of all their agencies.
You all know the drill my friends. Please order this book early and often.
We are in absolutely every place that books are sold and we will be doing live events all summer where we get to dress up as trads in all of our Doen knockoff glory and toss sourdough rolls at unsuspecting men on the street.
I am also doing personalized copies when you order from Bluebird Bookshop. I promise I’ll make them hilarious.
The more orders are placed now the better the book will do. Sales and marketing is constantly monitoring demand and I want to get this book into as many hands as possible so we can all have a conversation.
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
Done! Thanks for including Powell's, my local!
Obsessed with the cover!
