My Ex is Having Sex with Rex [Perfect Paperback]

Jennifer Lee (Author), Barbara McNichol (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 4, 2006

After 16 years of marriage, Jennifer's husband announced he was gay (on an Internet chat room) and the marriage ended. Jennifer's hilarious romp through the shock, dating again, and moving on with her life provides unique insights into an important topic for today. While the debate rages on about gay marriage, Jennifer gives a true-life account of the consequences for an 'average middle class white girl' being married to a husband in denial. Jennifer Lee's witty commentary on breakups, Internet dating and gay marriage offers a voice not often heard. This raw but funny new book has been described as "Bridget Jones' Diary" meets "Brokeback Mountain".

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Raw...resilient...resourceful and really funny. This book is for any woman who has really loved a man only to discover she's learned more about herself than she has about him. From both a male and female perspective, this book inspires the readers' confidence to speak with their own authentic voice as Jennifer so movingly does with hers." --Amanda, age 35, business owner

"After only two years of receiving Steve's shocking information, I would not have thought it possible for Jennifer to have the appropriate distance and composure to honestly evaluate her situation. It's one thing to be a keen observer of other people's tragedies and circumstance, but to examine her own takes a special mix of understanding, deep soul searching, and raw courage. For anybody who's been kicked in the teeth by one of life's unexpected turns, this is a must-read. Because being kicked is one thing--but figuring out what your smile is going to look like is quite another." --Tom, age 43, marketing consultant, writer, musician

"...an eloquent and insightful journey shared by a wise and beautiful woman. Written with depth and honesty, Jennfer Lee captures your heart, engages your inner thoughts, and enlightens you as she shares her intimate story with her no-nonsense prose, quick wit, and candid humor. Her story speaks volumes about the struggle to connect and understand the delicate relationships that define and form the individual in each and every one of us." --Mitra, age 38, artist, mother, wife

This review is from: My Ex is Having Sex with Rex (Perfect Paperback)

This book is an excellent "other side of the story". Not many people hear about what happens to the woman who thinks she's been married to a "straight" man - and then finds out he's really gay. You usually just hear about how happy the gay man is with his new life. Jennifer Lee is a wonderful storyteller. The book is witty, honest, provocative and a little sad at times. I hope this book makes a bestseller list. A great memoir to read. My husband grabbed it before I could and also really liked it. He thinks it's such an honest story that had to be told.

This review is from: My Ex is Having Sex with Rex (Perfect Paperback)

This book is a MUST READ for anyone who has experienced the pain of a broken marriage regardless of age or sexual preference. The author has written this book with humor, candor, and dignity. She is very compassionate and supportive of both the Heterosexual and Gay/Lesbian Communities. I could not put it down.

This review is from: My Ex is Having Sex with Rex (Perfect Paperback)

This book is about the break-up of a marriage because the husband was gay but I found the author's insights could apply to all types of break-ups. Jennifer Lee has funny, thoughtful insights on getting knocked-down and getting up again. I laughed out loud and thought about the book for days afterwards. Great book by a first time author!
