I was glad to look at the reviews and see that at least a few other people agreed with me - this book wasn't worth the hype and came across as trauma porn more than anything. Good on the author for letting people tell their stories to someone, but did they really need to be made into a book? Did I come out of this book any more empathetic or sympathetic? Not really, mostly I just came out surprised by how open people were about infidelity.

It honestly doesn't seem super genuine - I'm sure the stories were real, but the way they were written didn't feel human, they felt incredibly edited.
