I listened to this book last year on audible, read by the author, and it was so powerful. I laughed so much and loved the rawness and hilarity of the authors’ story telling. You can’t help rooting for them! Have recommended to many others!
I read this book recently before I read your review, and your review was spot on. This book can be traumatic for people who have gone through this (I had been married to my best friend for 25 years before this scenario came crashing down in my life, unfortunately even though my husband was the one who cheated on me for years, he abandoned my daughter and I). There was a lot of pain reading this book, but Harrison Scott Key's wit soften the blow a bit so I could actually read the book. It was nice to see someone have the same feelings I did and in that way the book validated my feelings, which was a big breakthrough for me. Unfortunately, my husband's addiction had pierced his heart so deeply that it hardened it, and he was unable to see the value in our commitment and our marriage. All this being said, I do recommend this book, 1) validation for the hurting and a glimpse into how the cheating party justifies the behavior that can destroy a family 2) a reminder of the pitfalls of long-term marriages can lull you into complacency.
I'm terrified and so tempted that this book is now on the top of my Must Read ASAP list!
