The Dumont Diaries was originally a four-part mini-series, and has now been reformatted and put together into one book! I had never heard of the series until I ran across some of the author's other work, like The Girl in 6E and Sex, Love, Repeat. I fell in love with them and Torre’s writing style, so I decided to check this out. Normally, I think this series would have been off my radar, and that is why I didn't read it when it was originally published.My friends know there are a couple of things I HATE to read about—cheating, or the H/h having sex with other people at some point in the book. Sometimes that isn't “really” cheating, but kind of cheating, or semi-cheating, as one of my friends calls it. Nonetheless, this book was full of complicated relationships but still, I DID fall in love with it. The main female character, Candy, is not the sweet, virginal girl I usually read about. She is a stripper who often has to resort to giving hand jobs or BJ's to make ends meet. Does that make her a big whore? I don't think so. She is a sweet girl who has been dealt a bad hand a couple of times. It makes you realize how quickly you can go from being on top of the world to living week to week. I'm not sure how to describe the main male character; you just have to read about Mr. Dumont yourself!I will say that I loved reading this book. I couldn't wait to get back to reading it when I had to put it down. I thought about it when I was driving to and from school to get my kids. This was a one-day read for me! I highly recommend checking it out, especially since it is on sale at the time of this post for only $.99!
