dhlunique's review

[see below] This book needs a TRIGGER WARNING for anyone whose partner has had sex outside of their commitment.
I could not finish it; I barely started it before having to get rid of it.

[below] after getting over my initial triggered reaction (took an entire 24 hours!), the humour got through to me and I'm going back to finish the book. It is exceptionally well-written, which has up- and down-sides ;-).

This is a great book, but it made me feel sad, and bad about myself, and bad about life and marriage and family. I think the writing was compelling and interesting but the topics just made me sad. I wouldn’t read it again, but if you like reading about tense family situations then I would recommend it. The author did a great job of presenting the mess of thoughts in the characters head.
