The Fixed Stars by Molly Wizenberg
4.0
I won a copy of this book in a goodreads giveaway.
The Fixed Stars is the latest non-fiction by Molly Wizenberg. I haven't read her 2 previous books but they've been on my to-read radar for awhile. Her prior writing tells of her experiences opening and running a restaurant with her husband. In The Fixed Stars, Molly tells of developing a crush on a female defense attorney while she is on a jury. Molly questions this attraction but keeps going back to it. She speaks to her husband and friends about it and eventually, Molly & her husband decide to open their marriage so Molly can see if there is anything to her crush.
This was an open and honest account of a woman trying to figure out where she exists on the fluid spectrum of sexual orientation. In a way it reminded me of some of what I've read by [a:Glennon Doyle|17099759|Glennon Doyle|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1571235130p2/17099759.jpg]. I found the writing engaging and almost conversational. The author is also clearly well-read because she references many books that relate to her own personal experiences during this journey.
Two thumbs up! And I am definitely going to get to her other books sooner rather than later.
