It is the story of a married couple, Jayla and Carl, where Jayla decides to have an affair with a womanizer (Rommel) and, in turn, Carl seeks revenge by having an affair of his own. It seems both Jayla and Carl chose crazy people to get involved with.
The story gets a little confusing when Jayla becomes pregnant by Rommel who states consistently he has no feelings for Jayla - he just wants her for sexual and financial satisfaction. However, upon learning that Jayla has had an abortion, Rommel becomes outraged and can't seem to get passed the killing of his child. I found this part of the story hard to swallow considering Rommel was not father material and definitely would not have wanted to start a family with a woman he did not care for.
Meanwhile, Rommel's brother, Taylor, who was an drug addict suddenly cold turkey reforms when he meets Karen, Jayla's best friend. This part of the story was a little unrealistic - anyone hooked on prescription drugs to the point where they are fired for stealing the drugs from a hospital would need a little more help than a love affair would offer. I don't recall anywhere in the story where Karen is even made aware of Taylor's past problems with drugs. Perhaps the author should have done a little more research before introducing this topic into the story since even reformed alcoholics have to adjust their lifestyles by avoiding certain items such as cough medicines, mouthwashes, etc. due to the alcohol content of these items. Having Taylor overdose and then suddenly be fine living a normal life is very far-fetched.
Meanwhile, Carl's cohort he gets involved with goes from a normal person to a totally insane person. It appears the author exaggerated the behaviors of the people Jayla and Carl gets involved with in order to gather more sympathy for the main characters. The ending was a little too convenient to be believable.
Overall, I found the book interesting and I would recommend it.… (mais)
