From the beginning, this book was immediately captivating, opening with the author’s son confronting her about her open marriage. The narrative was rich with humor and just the right amount of smut. There were parts that made me uncomfortable, but these moments were necessary, adding depth and providing a compelling backdrop for the author’s journey of self-discovery.
The book touches on themes of self-acceptance, the therapeutic process of letting go, and the pitfalls of pleasing others at one’s own expense. It’s a narrative that many will find relatable and moving, one that speaks to the universal human experience. You DO NOT need to have an open marriage to relate to this book! It made me cry, and for me, any book that can evoke such a strong emotional response is deserving of a five-star rating. I finished the book yearning for more (pun not intended), which is always a sign of a great read.
