G Week
G WEEK is the only sex book that will leave you calling your own therapist.
After 20 years of marriage, four kids and more PTA meetings than she can count, Marnie is exhausted and her sex life is missing. The sex part doesn’t seem to bother her until, rejected once more, her husband storms out and spends a night elsewhere. Panicked, Marnie seeks the advice of her friends: Jessica, a Southern Baptist woman who is married to a surgeon and wresting with sex life issues of her own, and Rachel, a middle school principal and newly empty nester reconciling her feelings for her husband in the absence of their only child. Together the three agree to commit to one week of sex every day to “fix” their marriages and cause more problems than they solve.
“In the shower, after all my beasts were in bed, I fantasized about how relaxing it must be in jail. Not like old school Alcatraz or some dungeon in Siberia. More like the white-collar prison Martha Stewart checked into with scratchy sheets and low sodium food options. Eyes closed, I scrubbed Pantene into my scalp, considered how I wouldn’t have to wait until four kids were asleep to sit on the toilet in peace. I was imagining the bliss of locked cell doors when the curtain shot open, my proud rooster of a husband stood naked before me.”
