Should I stay or should I go?
If your husband is a sex addict, this question is just one of many that hurts so much.

Five women and a young female therapist. Gail, Hannah, Lizzy, Bridget and Flavia share the same hurftul situation - their husbands are sex addicts. They seek the support of the women understanding what they are going though - and they have so much to add, as their situations are the same, yet they differ. Some of the husbands still love them, some don't, some are trying to gret over the addiction, some don't.
The women have all decided to fight for their marriages. They hope, they are angry, they are losing it. They are closing their eyes to the truth, they see it, they are up and down.
And, what is the biggest asset and added value of the book - they FEEL real. You can connect to them. None of them is angelic and saintly, but they are very relatable to even in their weakest moments. And precisely because of that they can understand each other and more to themselves.

Some of the most hurtful among their issues is the shame. Maybe that's why I like Hannah's story the most, as the shame can destroy so much of the soul. Hannah fights very specific and delicate situation as her husband is having sex with male prostitutes. Ah yes, I can't even imagine to be in that situation.

This is not an easy read, but I gained so much information and wisdom from it! I obtained the big picture - or why the big picture of loving and caring is important, and not the small moments of not-the-best behaviour. I even understand myself more.

As for the writing - well, to be honest, there are some stiff and moralistic moments, but just some. As this is the first book of the authoress, these are just small minor issues against all the deep humanity and smartly builded plot with chracters that are unique and complex.

I can only recommend this book.
