Well that was different...
The story follows the push and pull relationship of Jane (Harriet) and Trey (George). Make no mistake about it, this is in fact a romance novel. We must remember that romance has different categories underneath it 😉. A woman sleeping around with other men??? How oddly empowering. This is something you don't see everyday especially in the romance department. I personally found it rather refreshing to have the woman take the part of the usual male persona. It's almost as if their roles had been reversed. Even though I did find the role reversal an interesting part to read in this book, I still couldn't really get into the Jane character. As a person who deals with depression on a daily basis (Bipolar II), I know what it's like to have to go through that every day. I know what it's like to want something one minute and then push it away the next. It's difficult to say the very least. Although Jane seems to take this to an extreme. Her problems seem to be not just her mental illness but also perhaps some immaturity along with it. Nevertheless, this book was in fact very well written and I enjoyed it very much. Although the beginning was a little difficult to get into, but I stuck to it and enjoy the ending. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes romance under a different light.
