Because drug addiction is becoming more prevalent these days, it is beneficial when a writer shares his own personal experience with the audience.
Excellent review.

I don't have any experience with an alcoholic family member, but I have someone close to me who has an alcoholic father. I've seen the horrible effect it has had on each and every family member. So, I sympathize with Annie, but I'm also glad that she has reached a point where she can look back and make light of some of the moments. This seems like an interesting book. Thank you for the wonderful review!

I'm going to make a wild guess here and say that maybe, though her husband's literal cause of death was not alcoholism, the events that led to his death might have been related to his addiction. Anyway, you make an excellent point. I understand that memoirs like this are full of raw emotions but we need to keep arguments logical when dealing with such a sensitive topic. Thank you for your analytical review.

Annie is living a life full of sorrow and discomfort I guess, I'm curious to know more about her. I like the fact that the author has used a day to day language for readers to enjoy it freely. Thanks for the review.

This review genuinely makes me want to read the book, sooner rather than later. Seems as though the book might be triggering for some, but this review gives a great base for the storyline allowing me to decide that it’s something I can probably get through.

This book has a very catchy title that caught my eye. I think this would be a great read for married women. However I still think non married people can also enjoy this. Congratulations on making book of the day!

This book is about spousal suppression and relationship turmoil, especially involving marriage. The author did a great job playing with words successfully to display proper emotions. The book keeps the reader hooked till the end.

First of all and first for me. What an outstanding review. Absolutely on point and informative. Well done mate. Now for the book, I am not really sure about this. I wouldn't be picking up this book to review so it's highly unlikely I would be reading it. However, the title is quite catchy.

I love when the language of a book is informal. Reading it feels like you're in a conversation.

An amazing family story in the book "I Did Not Kill My Husband : But I Almost Killed Myself" by AM Parker. The story revolves around Annie, a mom and teacher, who fights with all her strength to get her marriages to work. The story looks interesting.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Annie sounds like a relatable and likeable character, and though the story is full of hardships, it seems as if Annie is able to now look back and learn from them. Overall, it seems that this is an encouraging and realistic work. Thank you for your review!
