Today's book of the day is a memoir of Karen Keilt. The book told the author's experience in her marriage and how she separated from her and had to fend for herself. It's a pathetic story altogether. Congrats on being the #BOTD!

I would have preferred that the author wouldn't have accommodated Rex since she already knows he was a drug dealer. I know Rick may likely divorce her after this tragic event. Nice review. Congratulations on BOTD.
