Book Description:
Prudence Aldrich is a sex addict. Five weeks ago, she checked into the Serenity Hills rehab center to prevent that addiction from ruining every important relationship in her life. Now Prue must face the trail of destruction she left behind, including mending the broken bond with her teenage son, finalizing the divorce from her husband, Nick, and using a newly learned set of skills to ward off her insatiable cravings for male attention-a compulsion that puts her friendship with lifelong pal Lily to the test.
Adding ever further complications to the hurdles in her path is the arrival into town of Alistair Prescott, her in-rehab romantic obsession, and the one person in the world most capable of throwing Prue off her recovery. Meanwhile, Serenity Hills counselor Mike Sullivan is undergoing a crisis of his own-one that will drive him to the rediscovery of a lifelong passion . . . and causing him to cross paths again with Prue, his former patient.
A Dress the Color of the Moon tracks the rocky and sometimes disastrous path to recovery-a recovery that will require Prudence and her friends to face down the demons of their pasts while learning to accept the fearful uncertainty that comes with living life on your own two feet.

MY REVIEW
MY REVIEW
The cover of this book threw me off a bit, I was completely surprised to find out this book is about addiction. The main character, Prudence Aldrich in this book is addicted to sex. She did go for help, because she wanted help to overcome her addiction, so she checks herself in to the Serenity Hills rehab center to keep her addiction from ruining who she had left in her life. But when she was allowed home, things were tough, so many things pushed her to have those feelings again. Jennifer Irwin does a great job telling the raw emotions from an addict trying to make her way in the world and better herself. It wasn't easy and it wasn't easy to read.
There are other issues dealt with in this book because the main point of this story is addiction, and how to pick yourself up and go for help, and use that help to better yourself from your addiction. If you, or someone you know is suffering with any kind of addiction, this would be a great read for you. I encourage you to check out this book.
I received a copy of this book from the author and iReadBook Tours to review. I was in no way influenced to write a positive review. Every word in this review is my opinion only.
