When it turns out their partners are sex addicts, a small group of women come together in a support group to let it all out. They breed trust within their ranks, forming friendships in the face of pain. They seek the magic formula that will heal their lives but they all realize that the struggles are too powerful to be cured just like that. Though they are connected by their group, they have to deal with their problems on their own. From the less-than-happily married to the partners on the cusp of destruction, THE WEDNESDAY GROUP tackles the other side of the coin of addiction.

Of all the problems this book could have had, the one it really has surprised me. I'm surprised to find how thin the characters seem. Had the sections not been labelled, I don't know if I would have been able to tell the women apart, let alone their families and struggles. In the end, I was able to tell Hannah and Gail's stories were very separate and distinct. As for Bridget and the others, it was just kind of a jumble. They weren't particularly distinct characters, and their stories were all so close together there was no way to tell them apart.

For such a short novel, it was quite full of material. The story was largely the same, woman copes with her partner's sexual addiction, but on the whole that's a fascinating story even if it doesn't happen multiple times. The subject matter is compelling if you care to read about it, and the prose is easy to read. Some novels of this introspective nature can be cumbersome and dull in their words. THE WEDNESDAY GROUP doesn't have that particular problem. It is interesting enough to hold the attention and simple enough to deserve the attention given it. I'd say this has the potential to really skyrocket in popularity. Relatable, simple, and compelling, THE WEDNESDAY GROUP has something for every reader.
