Review: She's done it again...
Rating: 5 out of 5

I've read all the Pam of Babylon books and they just keep getting better and better. Suzanne Jenkins has another winner with this one.Pam was married to Jack who was having affairs with everyone, everywhere and not only with women. Pam was in Babylon and didn't have a clue that he was such a jerk until he had a heart attack and died. Then all the ugly truths started coming out. Including her own sister...How could he have done all of this and her not have a clue. I wonder if she didn't deep down somewhere have to have a clue that something was not right. But it does not seem like it.In this book her daughter has married Pam's ex and they have a son together. Her friend, Sandra, who if it was me I would and could never be friends with as she was the last one that Jack was having an affair with and possibly considering leaving Pam for, has a baby by Pam's son who was killed in the previous book, "Pam of Thao". She finds out who she thought was her best friend, Jeff, betrayed her confidence with the guy she is now seeing and may possibly marry. Oh yeah, Jack gave everyone AIDS including his wonderful wife Pam. Told he was a jerk.There is so much going on in this book that I would have to give away something so I best just say that I loved this book so much. Pam was a bit bitchy in parts of this book but in some cases I could not blame her. But she can't be angry with her daughter for marrying Dan since she did break up with him and they seem happy now. You just can't be mean to your daughter over an ex boyfriend. But they are not as perfect as they try to appear either. Dan is going to have a baby by an old girlfriend who he has an affair with behind Lisa's back the day after she gives birth to his son. Another jerk?  Of course.This story has many twists and turns and a few surprises thrown in that keep it a page turner. I actually came to the end before I realized I was that close. It just flew by and flowed beautifully. I love the series and can't wait for the next book in this series. It is really good. Filled with lies, betrayals, affairs, innocent children in the middle of break ups and Pam's house on the beach where everyone seems to always want to be, while they still betray her. I'd have to tell them all to get lost and never come back.This is the best of the Pam of Babylon books yet and I know the next one will be even better. To thoroughly enjoy these books you do have to read them in order and it is the first long series that I have really loved.I had to give this a 5 star rating because I think it deserved it. No big mistakes to take away from the story. Great story line and it just read beautifully so you could keep up with what everyone was doing to each other. I loved it.
