May 17, 2023 Wednesday Martin on the economics of her open marriage
Wednesday Martin is a writer and social researcher whose #1 NYT-bestelling book, "The Primates of Park Avenue," revealed the inner world of rich Upper East Side mommies.

And she reveals the tricky money conversations that go on inside her own open marriage.
