It seems like the author is speaking from the heart on this story, no doubt a likeness of something that can and has happened in many families through out the world. It's heart breaking and sad. But I still encourage the readers to look at this story with open eyes and if nothing else, use it as a reminder to be grateful if you do not have to contend with such turmoil

This is a unique story. Divorces are common but the aftermath of this one is unusual. The story will take you on a ride that will dominate your attention.

Another painful read from this author. Once again, I found myself having to read several sentences and full paragraphs multiple times to try to find out what the author was trying to say. Although, the main character in this book has a name (Melanie) this just seems like a short story spin off from another one of her books. This time the author goes into a detailed account of one event where she continues to bash and blame her ex-husband for a video of her. The author does not give the character, of the ex-husband, a name in this book so it leaves room for interpretation. The story left me asking more questions (in a negative, non-suspenseful way) and provided very few answers.

What a bad day this poor girl had, it makes my worst day look good. Too bad Karma didn't step in at the end and give a dose to Melanie's ex.
This story will keep you reading, just to find out what happens next.
