I read the book myself and thought that it was a pretty good book. I didn't take it as the main character being an AKA and being out of character as an AKA. I took it as a woman who had problems in life and dealt with them the best way she knew how. It just so happens that she was an AKA. I didn't interpret is as the author trying to belittle AKA's or disgrace them in any way. In the end, the main character realized her mistakes and started to make positive changes in her life.
To answer your question if members are offended. In my opinion, I'm not offended because the book wasn't about a AKA acting out of character. One doesn't learn this status until later in the book. The emphasis was on a woman learning to make right choices.
Everyone isn't perfect and just because you are a member of an organization that doesn't automatically make you perfect. And that's my say.
