"'The reality is that every marriage is a partnership of two broken' jerks 'with good intentions and varying degrees of ability to deliver.' That sentiment doesn’t make for a heartwarming YouTube video, but it’s honest and mostly true," says Jessica Grose about Harrison Scott Key’s candid, hilarious memoir detailing both sides of an affair. If you've been binging the Ashley Madison documentary on Netflix and Couples Therapy, HOW TO STAY MARRIED will leave you laughing, gasping, and turning pages long into the night.
