Questioning whether or not her point of view was accurate, a review from military.com included this perspective:

"Houppert raises some important and legitimate questions that deserve a thoughtful, balanced, and honest analysis."

However, that is not the focus of her research. I agree that even though the content supports some positive aspects of being married with a spouse in the military, the negativity is high. The book is written in an easy to-read style and I found the research interesting enough to read to the last page.
