I received an advanced copy of Home Wrecker 2 and am more than happy to give an honest review of the book in return.I loved Home Wrecker 1 so I was pretty sure I would love Home Wrecker 2, too, but it totally surprised me as it wasn't just great it was brilliant! The honesty and the raw emotions just blew me away. Sure, beginning a new life and settling down with the love of your life while his crazy ex is haunting your relationship, not to mention attacking your personal space is tough but the way Brenda Perlin is telling about it takes it to a whole new level. The story is very hooking from the start and it crawls with strong, interesting characters such as Ruth, Bo's ex-wife, who is quite unstable (and that's an understatement). I know I should be more compassionate with her but she really sounds like a nasty person that probably would get diagnosed in a blink. Gerard, Brooklyn's ex...good old Gerard who is probably a really good and loyal friend but so boring even Brooklyn felt she was being married with her dad. And then Brooklyn, I really felt for her and just wanted to hug her. I think she was being incredibly brave and yet her vulnerability won me over. She might be a home wrecker but can one really break a marriage if the couple is happily married?Home Wrecker 2 is a must read! Not only cause the author skillfully describes Brooklyn's life dropping great life lessons in every turn (the reader only has to pick them up and store them in their hearts)  but also because sometimes life is not black and white. It does not necessarily always go as planned and also because I strongly believe that every story has two sides. Maybe after reading Brooklyn and Bo's story you can see the world a bit more open-mindedly. Maybe the man next door who left his wife and three children had a reason to do so or maybe `the second' woman is not the bad guy in the story. Just saying...
