All it takes is chance encounter with Teddy Reyes , a rouguish small time bass player with a highly evolved sexulaity, to open Violet's eyes to what she's missing and upend her life completely. ( Back of the book)
This is an adult novel.
I really tried to like this book. It reminded me of a car wreck that you see on the street. You see all accident and there is a part of you that wants to look away, but you can't look anyway.That's how I felt about this book.
Violet--married to David, Mom
David- married to Violet, music manager
Sally- sister to david and tell her story too
Jeremy- boyfriend to Sally
Violet is missing something. She has the perfect life. Sally is struggling in her life and has made some poor choices and in a way wants the life of Violet. David is busy with his work and they have been married for 16 years and live in L.A. These characters all want something , and its interesting too see how it all comes together with the characters all meeting. I did like seeing how the characters showed some growth and actually started talking.
The bad language was a turn off to me. This was a quick read for me. I wanted to give this book away, but my thoughts on not liking it book is big for me. I don't want to give away that I wouldn't pass along to friends. I think that I might have read this book from my local library.
Book Review =1
You might like this book , but I didn't want to pass along a bad book to my friends. So I won't be doing a giveaway for this book.
Thanks to Back Bay books for the book, and this is my HONEST review.
