SEX, LIES, & HOT TUBS is an emotionally gripping story about a woman who is trying to deal with her husband's cheating and her daughter's anger by pretending everything is all right with her marriage. Although I've never had to deal with infidelity, thank God, I could identify with Ellen about a great many things, so this book was not the most comfortable reading experience for me. However, the story was so well-written and powerful that I found that I could not put it down before I reached the shocking ending. The dialogues were so realistic and the imagery was so vivid and authentic that I became totally immersed in the story. All the characters' personalities were three-dimensional and fully fleshed out; I often had to remind myself that this story was fictional. This book is not my usual genre (I mostly read romances and:/or fantasy) but I am definitely going to look for more books by this author. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a terrific story and maybe even learn something about themselves at the same time.
