Book covers are meant to draw you in even if the book itself is rubbish.
I used to plough through books even if they were rubbish….not now.I give them about two chapters.If they haven’t got me by then,it’s arrivederci.
Our partners should be treated the same….lol

mother’s home. First hubby was as violent and crazy as her.
I really appreciate your comment, Paula. I assumed you didn’t like anything I wrote. 🙂
Yes, some guys are too lost in the fantasy world to see what’s really there. Life will splash some cold water in their face when it’s too late.
Sorry about your hubby and mom. I know it’s hard to get over that or forget. My mother was an alcoholic. I’ve had some horror in my life to.
I love this. I never read in depth the outline of the or their stories either. A great metaphor you gave loved it 😍
Thanks so much, Julie. Much appreciated. 🙂
Superb work, my friend.
Thank you, Thomas. 🙂
