The book was good but I cannot really say I enjoyed it. Pru is a sex addict who has check her self into rehab. Most of the book takes place during her stay in rehab with flashbacks to help her figure out how to stop her destructive behavior. The story is very sad and raw as Pru goes from one abusive relationship to another. I did not like any of the characters and was not invested in their stories or recovery. The book was well written but it was a hard book to read.

This book is just not my style. It is quite nice and entertaining, and initially I thought the story sounded so touching and emotional with the sex addiction and marriage issues, but the plot and main character didn't really interest me personally in the end. Thank you to the author and publisher for the opportunity to read A Dress the Color of the Sky!

This story is about a sex addict who enters rehab to change her life and we get a look at all the interactions she has with others that come within her sphere.I listened to this book with my kindle and could not differentiate the speaker at any one time, leading to the need to frequently pause the reading to consult my kindle, to ascertain who to attribute the dialog to.Naturally, this took away some of the pleasure of the reading and constantly stalled the flow of the book.I consider myself a pretty smart and savvy reader, but the symbolisms were difficult to decipher reality from fantasy/flights of fancy.I was unable to follow the thoughts and actions of the heroine because the book read like a word salad, it was teeming with adjectives and absence of conjunctions.
I did not find the heroine likable and felt not a care or concern about her.I was unhappy that I was unable to finish this Netgalley ARC as I believed it could have been an engaging story, but the writing style detracted from the beauty and flow of it.

I just loved Prue's story My heart just broke at times for her you cannot help but like her, this is a super read and I enjoyed it so much more than I thought it would.A wonderful book that pulls you right into the story it was so well-written I would highly recommend it to all

A depressed self-loathing woman who can only find self-worth in sex with strangers checks into a harsh addiction clinic, wanting to save her marriage and do better for her teen son. As soon as she gets to group therapy, the story goes into flashback mode: childhood filled with abuse, moving away from daddy across the country, leaving her ducks behind. She makes a friend, and has her brother, but not exactly what you’d call a great support system. It all shows how she came to be so screwed up, but as necessary as they are to explain how she got to where she is, they sure are tough to get through.
In contrast, the chapters in rehab come across almost slice-of-life. . . if you live in a rehab facility, that is. (For the record, I don’t. . . really! I swear!)
I get why this book was written, but it’s so depressing! It’s sad, but it’s tough because there’s also a lot of funny sprinkled here and there. It took me forever to read, because every time something bad happened to her, I had to take a break.
A few days after finishing I was still conflicted. Had I known what this would be like, I would not have started it. Stories like these are just too difficult for me. But I finished it. I can’t really say I liked it, though there was nothing wrong with the writing. One of the discussion questions at the end asked which half of the book I preferred, and I can wholeheartedly say the present rather than the past. Every time I felt happy for her progress in therapy I got plunged back into her history of abuse. Just too rough.
2.5 pushed up to 3/5

I found this such a quick easy read. I loved the way it was written, the main character’s personality. Very hard to put down.

The problem for me wasn`t the context per si. I appreciate the author for tackling a complicated situation.
But sometimes there was too much, and I felt myself wondering how can that happen... anyway, I might be wrong and I do believe we need to urgently talk about abuse.
