This is a book about an an incredibly insensitive man married to an incredibly naive woman. Yes, they are highly educated and are/have led professional lives and perhaps? that explains this. I wouldn't want to date let alone marry soon-to-be ex-Governor Sanford of the fine State of SC. Although Jenny Sanford portrays herself as a very fine individual, I wonder if this was just because she was writing a book about her qualities. No one can be that "perfect" although I believe she could be faithful to her husband and expect the same of him. When I finished reading the book (part of it aloud to my husband who kept saying "What a jerk!"), I didn't want to touch it as I was so disgusted with Gov. Sanford. If what you want is all the dirty details and her putting up with him, this is the book for you.
