Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage by Belle Burden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I am glad for people who are brave enough to tell their stories. To many, it might look like Belle’s privilege meant that her story wasn’t as interesting to share or that she had no right to be so hurt or she should not have been so dumb as to stop working, change the prenup and put herself into the position she put herself in.
People love to judge others. People feel entitled to tell you which stories deserve to be told. People think they would have done differently if it were them. People love to watch and point and laugh and judge and judge and judge.
It’s so easy to be a critic.
It’s hard to choose to put your life on paper anyway. And these stories deserve to be told. I’m grateful she did.
