Books like American Appetites

Oh, how I love a compelling family tragedy! But this whole drama could have been avoided if the husband had just followed my advice--Dude, if you're going to pay for a young woman's abortion, and the young woman happens to be your wife's friend, and you are not--repeat ARE NOT having an affair with said woman, tell your wife about it. It's that simple. "Honey, guess what happened today? Remember your friend Sigrid? Well it's the damndest thing! She called me up at the office today and asked me to give her $1,000 for an abortion! And I'm not even having an affair with her!" There. Now your wife won't find a canceled check made out to her young friend and assume the worst and you won't throw her through a plate glass window and ruin your life. People are idiots...
