Subtitled: A Memoir of Marriage and Betrayal
Nonfiction by Jen Waite
This is a memoir by an author who wrote a fiction book I recently read (see below.) It's about, basically, the disintegration of her marriage, which happens right after the birth of her baby. Her husband is the reason: he seems to completely change his personality as soon as she is no longer solely focused on him; he cheats on her and lies about it repeatedly; he pretends to have a medical problem to gain sympathy.
In the book, she identifies his behavior problems as sociopathy; to me he seems like a plain old narcissistic jerk. Admittedly, the tool she uses to diagnose her husband is a Google search, so she may or may not be accurate in her assessment.
It was an interesting story but maybe not as insightful as I'd have liked.
