Shameless: How I Ditched the Diet, Got Naked, Found True Pleasure...and Somehow Got Home in Time To Cook Dinner by Pamela Madsen

2.0

Not entirely sure what to think about this one...it was an interesting read - a good glimpse into an underground world of a sexually frustrated suburban housewife. I just don't understand how a woman who claims to be happy in her marriage out of the blue one day decides she needs more that her husband can't give her. So what does she do? She starts getting erotic massages from gay men. Miraculously, this leads to an acceptance of her body (according to the book, her food issues utterly disappear), and her husband doesn't seem very phased when she finally tells him after almost a year of sessions. I guess the book just seemed like everything went a little too easy for her, she never struggles with the fact that she's doing this behind her husband's back, the fact that it could destroy her successful career, or the fact that she's using "scared intimacy" as her newest crutch.
