It's a Wonderful Wife

So, I see this book is a retelling of “It’s a wonderful life” though I haven’t seen that movie to know what it’s about.

The story follows Bailey who runs her family's business after her parents passed. Her aunty accidentally loses $200k due to some dodgy dealings and Bailey doesn't know how she's going to pay her staff. It's approaching Christmas and so many people are relying on their pay and bonuses. On top of this, she catches her husband and best friend in bed together.

As her life is throwing her massive curve balls, Bailey heads to a bar to drown her sorrows. She meets an old high school friend Nate and they get to talking again. Not wanting to go home, she stays over at Nate's and wake up in an alternate world where no one knows her after wishing she'd never been born. As Bailey tries to comprehend what's going on she realises, her impact on everyone important to her and wishes her life back. Bailey gains the confidence to figure it all out and wouldn't have life any other way.

I definitely enjoyed the premise and loved the narrator on this story. There was some funny commentary that made the story engaging. For a short read, we really did understand the relationships in Bailey's life. Even though life was crumbling around her, Bailey saw the value in those that she loved and how they supported her in more ways than one.

This could be a fun Christmas movie for sure. It's something that's fun for the holidays.
