#promiscuous #heatofjuly This book was written in 1953. It is way ahead of its time. Unfortunately, this author was believed to have killed himself in 1958. There are so many things he says in this book that are relevant today. The pompous guy talking is the MC, who is a therapist helping a woman deal with the suicide of her fiancé who used to be his ex lover. You hate him until the middle of the book where you find out how fallible he is.
