****4 Stars****
This book is bizarre in its style of writing which took me a while to find my stride with but once I did I was turning the pages to try and make sense of what the hell was going. And what the hell happened in Philadelphia for a good part of the book.
Brad and Ronni have an odd marriage to say the least, their marriage is loveless, borne out of a one night stand that produced their daughter and consequently a marriage of convenience that seems to have become very inconvenient. Yet following his return from a trip to a medical conference in Philly Brad is different and Ronni isn’t sure how or why or what kind of game he is playing.
Brad it is a total Jekyll and Hyde character and at times I hated him and felt sorry for his family in putting up with him. Then the twist came which I did not see coming in a long shot and so the second half of this book is spent learning what happened in Philadelphia and the fallout as a consequence. I honestly can’t say anymore without giving away the whole story other than this book went in a direction I was totally not expecting.
I have to say I had a real issue with the liberal and flippant use of the word rape throughout the book, though I understand the meaning behind it to the character, it was just not something I personally wasn't comfortable with.
This book is a total play with your head kind of read, my first from this author who I look forward to reading more from.
