A Beautiful Terrible Thing Memoir

Before: Jen Waite has met the partner of her dreams. A handsome, loving man who becomes part of her family, evolving into her husband, her best friend, and the father of her infant daughter.

After: A disturbing email sparks suspicion, leading to an investigation of who this man really is and what was really happening in their marriage.

A Beautiful Terrible Thing: A Memoir Of Marriage And Betrayal

In alternating Before and After chapters, Waite obsessively analyzes her relationship, trying to find a single moment form the past five years that isn’t part of the long con of lies and manipulation. Instead, she finds more lies, infidelity, and betrayal than she could have imagined. With the pacing and twists of a psychological thriller, A Beautiful, Terrible Thing looks at how a fairy tale can become a nightmare and what happens when “it could never happen to me” actually does.

“Be forewarned: You won’t sleep until you finish the last page.”
—Caroline Leavitt, author of Cruel Beautiful World

I requested this book because I thought it was another book I may have dreamed up because I can't find anything about it on the internet (it was about buying a house in France with a husband soon-to-be divorced from, having already been divorced once or twice before). This is a New York divorce book, so no France, and no buying a house, and really not what I was thinking it was going to be at all. But that's okay -- sometimes we can surprise ourselves with our late night clicking on Netgalley where we must get ALL. THE. FREE. BOOKS!
Or sometimes we get a meh. Guess which one I got here?
I feel to say anything too critical about A Beautiful, Terrible Thing is somehow like me discounting Waite's experience: she got married to who she thought was the perfect guy. In the end, he cheated on her and had some psychopathic tendencies and the marriage fell apart. The psychopathic tendencies weren't of the mutilating-small-animals-and/or-humans kind, just more of the mundane, every-day-life psychopathic ones (lying, blaming, manipulating, etc.). The whole thing is so mundane and Waite so overwrought such that, even though she is the victim here, she isn't that great a protagonist. But I've never been bound by marriage to someone so deceitful, and, perhaps I don't even have the same deep well of feelings at Waite (I've often thought I'm just a shallow puddle of emotion rather than a deep, swimming hole quarry of them), and maybe if I found myself, like Jen, with a newborn and a cheating husband, I'd melt down just as much and then rescind my assessment of overwrought, but until then, nope: too much emotion for me.
And she has a kid. Her ex-husband does not come off looking great in this memoir. What will her kid think of all this when she is older? Obviously, good on Waite for rebuilding her life,
but I guess along with being unfeeling, I'm also pretty private. Hopefully though, writing and sharing this helped Waite recover, and hopefully, her daughter will understand someday.

I received a copy free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. ( )
