I always enjoy books with differing points of view on the same situation and we get to see the reasons behind the breakup of a marriage, mostly from his perspective but also hers near the end. An interesting look into a sub-culture I'm not super familiar with (Jewish ultra-wealthy) although there was a lot of raunchy sex-related writing that I wasn't a huge fan of. I also don't like ambiguous endings.

This book is everything at once. It’s the story of a divorce, and it’s a marriage manual. It’s about really, really, incredibly annoying people who will inspire you. It’s the end, and the beginning, and the middle. It’s third-person omniscient and an autobiography. I wanted to close it and not read it, and I could never put it down.

This book reminds you that there's always two sides (or three) to every story
