Reseña del libro "I Am A Trophy Wife: A Book of Narcissistic Proportions (en Inglés)"
I Am A Trophy Wife is a quirky and irreverent look into the life of a less-than-typical trophy wife. Middle-aged and middle-class author, Doreen A. Oken, has penned the perfect afternoon read guaranteed to give us a giggle. Oken describes her own life as the "new" American trophy wife-older, wiser, and completely willing to put herself on a pedestal. And just how does a middle-class, middle-aged woman become a trophy wife? Easy, says Oken. Your husband will just have to get a second job. "If you cannot afford to buy your trophy wife an appropriate gift, you may need to consider adding another job to your daily routine. If you own anything of value that is of no value to your trophy wife (such as a fishing boat, motorcycle, or an extra kidney) you may wish to sell it so you can afford to lavish your trophy wife with the objects of your affection that she desires and deserves," writes the author. From the back cover: "Young or old, rich or poor, beautiful or plain, nearly any woman can become a trophy wife. There is just one simple, yet all-important principle: You must fully and completely dedicate yourself to a life of pampered self-indulgence. "Where to start: your husband will need to get a second job. "My husband loves his second job. By day, he runs the small, family-owned business, but at times throughout the day, he is called away as a part-time firefighter in the county where we live. This provides us (myself, in particular), with three hundred to eight hundred dollars each month in additional income. "This was an easy pick for my family because Roy's second job keeps me in mani-pedis on a regular basis-not to mention the occasional pair of sparkly shoes-and also allows Roy to completely undress women in the name of saving lives. "So here's Roy, coming up to the scene of some kind of accident, such as a rider thrown from a horse, or a fender bender involving two hybrid weenie cars: "'Miss, it looks like your ankle may be badly sprained. I'm going to have to cut off your blouse and bra to check for further injuries.' "And here come the sparkly shoes." I Am A Trophy Wife is a fun, easy read that will put a smile on your face. It makes a great gift for any woman.
