My Thoughts....
This was definitely one story that had me shaking my head and saying what in the world? For poor Tess who thought she had it all...a good husband [Amiri] and her good friend [Marrissa] but to find out that she had been betrayed by both of them in the worst way on her wedding day! Well, I can say is that Tess didn't leave this situation so well [bringing a gun to confront Amiri and Marissa] where she had to later fix the problem [through anger management] of what she had done but thanks to her new friend Jake things did go OK for her. I will say sometimes when things seem to knock you down right around the corner can be a new path for you as it was for Tess in how she met Jake. Did Jake have feeling for Tess after the first meeting? This story will bring in some twist and turns as it seems that Jake's friend Frank who really had some real problems with his wife Rachel who did try to bring in problems in her marriage[ by hitting on Jake]. Then as the story goes on we see that Jake's father comes into the picture. I did like how well Tess kept after Jake about meeting with his father. All in all this was a good love story where each of the main characters helped each other and in the end one could see the love that Tess and Jake had for each other was definitely there. Definitely in the end the reader can see that karma was a bitch for these two...Marissa and Amiri and no amount of asking for forgiveness would change the fact to what both of them had done to Tess. I enjoyed this fast read that had some interesting and believable characters that was presented with the right amount of angst that will keep your attention till the end.
