This book might as well have been a soap opera on the LOGO channel! Although it has it's twists and turns, the book is, for the most part predictable and stereotypical. The women in this book are throw away characters, even if you feel sympathy for them at all, they really weren't necessary, and were probably added by Zane to add drama in the last edit of the book. The majority of the men don't do the right thing, and they pay for it in the end. *yawn*If you're looking for a high quality read, this isn't it. If you're looking for a gay Jerry Springer episode, you've found it!
