The Widow's Guide to Dead Bastards
by Jessica Waite
My Opinion
4 stars
Oof, what a read. It was a "warts and all" memoir that felt cathartic but as always when reading memoirs, I think about the family, especially their son. She does acknowledge it and I know it's her story to tell but it does always give me a little bit of conflict when I read these kinds of books.
I can't imagine how awful it would feel to not only lose your spouse unexpectedly but also to discover they were hiding massive secrets. I cringed at some of her reactions and the collateral damage but I also don't judge.
All in all, an immensely personal, readable look into someone's life.
