I am not sure why this book is on the NYT recommended list. As a woman I found it offensive actually. The main character Eddie is not a likable person and she spirals out of control and loses everything pretty much. Her savior of sorts ends up being the ‘other woman’. Rebecca’s interest in Eddie is not well explained and as such I couldn’t wrap my head around this story and what it is trying to say. Is this book about the trials of a black women? or the mechanics of an open marriage that became accidentally poly? Or the unlikely friendship between two very different women who envy each other? I didn’t find it illuminating on any of those fronts. There is nothing to be gained from reading this story.
