I received an advance copy of Home Wrecker II: The Brooklyn Chronicles for an honest review. After reading Home Wrecker I, I was looking forward to Brenda Perlin's next installment in the series.Brenda Perlin's stories are penned in a comfortable, easy to read style and I hope to have them in paperback one day soon so that I can add them to my collection. Her writing is raw and honest - laying open old wounds and bringing healing across the board. Albeit slow for some, as we soon find out between the 'covers' of The Brooklyn Chronicles.Brooklyn and Bo's story is one of friendship, passion, love, betrayal and heartache. There's plenty to go around and it comes from and extends out in all directions within the circle that is their life. I was immersed in their story with its deep love and equally deep pain. I felt Brooklyn's private horror during the worst part of her illness.  Her continued questioning of her own actions, left me with the belief that after living through much pain and oppression, she had finally come into her own life. One of knowing herself and of finally standing up to all those who found pleasure in hurting her - even if the standing up was merely within herself. I felt as though I was watching a girl grow into a confident, strong woman and that brought a smile to my face. I'm very much looking forward to Miss Perlin's next book.
