This story is about a wife who is unhappy with her life. She is obsessed with Hallmark movies, she falls into a trap set forth by an organization they are testing her to see if she's a good wife. She fails the tests and is sent to a sort of rehab to become a better wife. The story mentions that there are two kinds of women (W1s women who love), and (W2s women who don't love), Shelby is told she is a W2 but she will be changed to a W1. This organization sort of trains and tests women to better themselves. It is mentioned that their families can see them but the women can't see their families, I found that a little creepy but also sad. They can watch your failures, and you're stuck missing out on seeing your family? Sounds horrible. I think this story made me realize that all women are different, I don't think Shelby was a W2, I think she just loved differently in her own way! I don't think a rehab center like this should ever exist...
