Dr. Ana Simó, the central figure of the event, shared her motivations for writing the book and highlighted the extensive research process behind it. Drawing from her wealth of experience in counseling, she recounted cases of couples who have overcome infidelity and now enjoy stable, functional relationships.
Simó expressed gratitude to everyone involved in the book’s journey, including the Bien-etre publishing house and the Buho editor. She proudly announced that “Surviving Infidelity” became a bestseller on Spanish Amazon within 24 hours of its release, ranking 110th in the general bestselling books, securing the top spot in conflict management and dysfunctional relationships categories, and claiming the second position in the Marriage category.
