Letters to the Editor

You never really know what happens behind closed doors…
After reading her original Salon article I really, really hate her ex. What I really want to hear about is how his second wife ran off with the pool boy and half his cash. But I don’t think I could do a whole book.
A couple years ago I picked up Dominique Brownings’s divorce memoir and started out loving her – but toward the end of the book I was so sick of her yammering on about that retaining wall and her ex’s summer place I was ready to divorce her too (kidding Dom, but seriously that wall analogy got super old). The whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth because I realized that I didn’t really know what was going on – I was just hearing one women vent. Maybe her husband was a cool guy with a sob story of his own.
So while I love the short articles I think the books are a bit much unless you’re going through a divorce yourself.
