<human>: I wrote a memoir four years ago that featured my ex-husband. He later told me he felt betrayed that I didn't tell him I was publishing a book about our lives. Fast forward to 2016, I am releasing a second memoir in July.

My question is this: do I let the people in it know? The friends and family I am in touch with I have obviously told and given copies to and all think it is kind of funny and approve, but I have struggled with the people I am not in touch with including old friends and exes. I am not on good terms with some of these people and the idea of sending them a copy of a book with them in it seems a little odd but the idea of them reading it at some point and finding themselves in it without being warned seems odd, as well. None of the depictions are negative, mind you.

My books are not best sellers or anything but the last sold 64,000 copies so a good number of people will read it and I would assume that at some point these people would become aware that I wrote a book about that period of my life and may read it.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: I wrote a book with estranged people in it, do I let them know or let them find out on their own?
