I loved this, I was completely hooked all the way through! Better than An American Marriage in my opinion. I’m not sure what it is about reading about messy, complicated lives… In a discussion section at the end, Jones says she hopes people will read this book and come away with more tolerance and compassion for people who find themselves trapped in messy situations, and you really do feel for Dana, Chaurisse, Laverne and Gwen… but not James. James can piss right off.
