The Secrets & Lies of Military Wives
$12.50
Behind the perfectly staged family photos, the matching holiday pajamas, and the ‘Bless This Mess’ porch signs, there’s another side to military life—one full of secrets, scandals, and enough drama to fill a dozen deployments.
The Secrets and Lies of Military Wives isn’t fiction. These stories? They’re real. The names? Oh, they’ve been changed, because trust me—some of these wives are still out there. From cheating scandals to friendships held together by gossip and sarcasm, this book delivers the messy truth, told by a narrator who’s seen it all and isn’t afraid to spill.
It’s raw, it’s ridiculous, and sometimes it’s downright heartbreaking. But above all, it’s real. So grab a cup of tea, settle in, and brace yourself—because if this sounds like someone you know… it probably is.

The Military’s Lady Whistledown
This book is part hilarious, part heartbreaking, part salacious, and all things military spouse life.Move over, Lady Whistledown! Jenna is the new tea spiller on the block.Hannah’s chapter killed me, partly because we’ve all been flies on the walls of those Facebook comment sections. 👀If you are a MilSpouse, considering becoming a MilSpouse, know a MilSpouse, or love a MilSpouse, (or maybe you just like hot gossip) read this book.Side note: the acronym glossary at the front? Chefs kiss.

Must Read!
Being a Navy Veteran and a military spouse myself I’ve heard some off the wall stories. This book hits the nail on the head! I honestly can’t wait for the second one to come out! She truly captured some good stories. My husband and I had some very good laughs with it. We’ve never lived in Military housing so getting to read about all the chaos and drama is a little treat!

A Must-Read!
Absolutely hilarious and delightfully scandalous! This book offers a raw, laugh-out-loud glimpse into military life with all its wild moments and unforgettable milspouses. Jenna Lumb’s sharp wit and unfiltered storytelling had me hooked from page one (those acronym definitions are next-level funny). A must-read for anyone who loves a good dose of humor and a peek behind the curtain of military antics!

Disappointing
I was really excited to read this hyped up book but it sadly fell very flat for me. I wanted to support a fellow milspouse and give a stellar review but I just can’t. These are all typical stories that you hear about all the time living in the military world. There was nothing new, salacious or shocking in my opinion. I read in a FB group that it took the author 3 years to gather stories and to write this 93 page book. This is something that I could write in a day and I probably could write some stories that would actually stun the reader.

Hilariously accurate: step into the world of military drama 😅
5/5 ⭐️ I loved it!!! It was equal parts eye-roll familiar, gasp inducing, hilarious, heartbreaking, and infuriating; all wrapped up in sassy sarcasm and the trappings of this crazy Military life we live.I loved the short story format broken up by the different flavors of tea and the Acronym glossary had me rolling 😆🤣 Not to mention the tribute to the Dependa segment 😂🥹 She’s an experience 💀Thanks, Jenna, for this! And I KNEW what was comingg for book 2!!

Great quick read!
I couldn’t put it down! It was a quick, fun read, and so relatable as a military spouse. Each chapter is a small glimpse into characters we’ve all seen in our own journey. Highly recommend for anyone, military or not.

Green Tea, anyone?
This book was such a fun read! It reminded me so much of the local spouse page—I could instantly recognize so many of these characters just from living in base housing. It’s a quick, entertaining read that perfectly captures the humor and chaos of military spouse life. If you’ve ever been part of a military community, you’ll definitely relate! Plus, it’s a great way to support a fellow military spouse. Highly recommend!
