did not like it

Listen, I thought the point of this book was to make us root for the marriage in the beginning, experience all the disillusions, before becoming sober about the whole patriarchy shit and finally getting the catharsis of seeing the narrator breaking free from it? Whats the point if the husband was completely horrible and intolerable from page one? Why did she marry the good for nothing garbage of man? Is she blind, stupid, or both?

Autobiographical fallacy or not, I think the author was using writing this book as her therapy after getting rid of a terrible marriage, which I mean, good for her, but I don’t think anyone should spend money to basically be the author’s therapist, well unless if you are the kind of person who enjoy being that! In that case this is a perfect book for you lol.

H i felt like her therapist, too. A therapist would have been dumb-struck as to why she married this dirt bag in the first place, but since she did, she should have at least done some deep introspection and revealed what she learned about herself through this divorce.
