Alice Schroeder did a small AMA on reddit years ago that is worth reading.
When asked about their broken-off relationship, she says that they aren't unfriendly or anything, but that she is basically no longer in his inner circle.
Her explanation is that he figuratively laid himself bare before her for the book, which was necessary for it, but that it made things afterward quite awkward. Kind of like seeing a close friend naked.
Second the recommendation for that book. I like it better than the Lowenstein book, but any Buffett-head should read both, of course, as each has some details the other doesn't.
I was also confused about the implications around Susie and just assumed that she had an affair with the tennis coach guy, as cliche as that sounds.
Edit: Dug out the AMA. Definitely read if you are a fan of Buffett / The Snowball.
