What a rollercoaster you think the book will be one thing and then it turns into another thing and then another.

Addicted follows Zoe a successful married middle class black woman seeking help from a therapist for sexual addiction. Through sessions with her therapist Zoe begins by telling the story starting from her early childhood. We see Zoe's relationship with her husband Jason grow from childhood enemies to high school sweethearts to marriage and children. They are both successful and from the outside looking in the perfect family. As Zoe struggles with her sex addiction her perfect life and persona begin to unravel. I did question Zoe being branded as a sex addict. She is a woman with suppressed childhood sexual trauma that she needed to deal with in a sexually unfulfilling marriage. This leads to her destructive behavior. The story is fast paced, drama filled and keeps you drawn in. I wouldn't say it's a romance. It was more suspense, thriller to me. I thought the plot was good but there is A LOT that happens in this novel. There are parts of the story that are far fetched but still a great read. It adds to the drama and ultimate conclusion.
