I will admit that Green Dot is not a book I would normally gravitate to because I do not enjoy reading about Infidelity. But, I had started listening to it on audio before heading to book club with the author in attendance and while the writing is fantastic, I honestly wasn't sure how I felt about Hera at that point. A mid-twenties queer messy girl who is entering her first relationship with a man, and a married man at that. I just simply didn't like Hera and so I wasn't sure going into book club whether I'd finish the book.

Isn't it funny how some lively conversation and a difference of perspective can shake things up? It was so refreshing to be in a room discussing a book that evokes an array of emotions from its readers in response to unlikable characters, morality, and the stigma surrounding the women counterpart in affairs.

I think that any book that makes you feel uncomfortable in a way that challenges your perceptions is worth the read, so I finished the audio the next day and while i didn't LOVE it, I am glad that I saw it through.

Hera isn't a likable character by any means and Arthur is an absolute joke of a man
The ending is a bit ambiguous as to whether that final scene was Aruthr's doing, unable to let go and toying with Hera's emotions again... it felt that way to me and made me dislike him even more.

I also heard the screen rights have been picked up, so look out for more on that.
