review 1: Well-written cautionary tale. I tend to have very open-minded views about the gray area of infidelity, but after reading this book, I can't say that I feel any sympathy for the author's situation. Bill's behavior is appalling, but so is cheating on someone three times before you have children (as though that's some sort of emotional demarcation line of acceptability) and once after having children, I can't say that I'm surprised her husband turned to other women for solace. The book is missing the perspective of her ex-husband and some of the metaphors are incredibly cheesy.
review 2: This was a very gritty view of marriage and infidelity. I appreciate the eloquent honesty of Wendy Plump. I've never been in love (and now after reading this, I'm not sure I wa... morent to be), but in perfect detail, she describes the ease and thrill of infatuation while still feeling an obligation to another person. What I gleaned from this book is the essence of humanity - our ability to forgive, to move forward, to live - and all the atrocious experiences of love, lust, and infatuation that come with it. less
