Sex Happens

Literature & Fiction

Dr. Alexandra Rose has everything a woman could want. She’s the wife of a renowned cardiologist, the mother of three adorable sons, and a successful chiropractor. But on their twentieth anniversary, her husband shocks her with his affair. Her life spins out of control, and she faces the other side of marriage where dreams implode and people are not who they seem. Alexandra wants custody of her children, but so does her husband, and he’ll stop at nothing. Thrust into a nightmare spawned by chilling deception, a custody battle erupts that’s so poisonous it threatens to become murderous. In this stay-up-all-night portrait of a contemporary family, Alexandra’s bittersweet journey of love, loss, and sexuality leads her to a miraculous discovery of self and power. Sex Happens explores the very essence of all we value as women—marriage, motherhood, sex—and what we’ll do for each.

Questioning Role

This segment from the novel demonstrates how devastating divorce can be. The main character’s hopes and dreams were tied to being a wife and mother. Stripped of her role as a wife, she questions her very identity. Nora Ephron said it best, “Marriages come and go, but divorce lasts forever.” P 96 This is to give reader a clue about the husband—how he was capable of twisting the truth, stealing checks that belonged to the practice and denying it. This provides consistent information about his character, laying the foundation for the things he eventually does to discredit and possibly harm the main character, his former wife.
