I really loved Home Wrecker I and could not wait to read II.  Home Wrecker I was raw, honest, and emotionally gripping and Home Wrecker II, if possible, was even more so.  Both books explore tough issues.  Brooklyn's real self is laid bare for all of us to see.  She shares her past, her motivations, and her own guilt with a candidness that I can but admire.  The moral dilemma presented here is something many have faced.Brooklyn was raised to live a life of integrity, and had endeavored to do so all her life.  Never did she for one minute think she would ever be `the other woman.'  It wasn't in her psyche.  She wasn't a cheater, a Home Wrecker.Brooklyn never planned to get a divorce, hurting those she loved and sacrificing relationships in the process. But something changed in her when she struggled with a near fatal illness.  Life was short, why live on eggshells and just exist? Why be afraid and unhappy? She never thought she would exchange security for the unknown either. But sometimes, security comes at too high a price.  And for Brooklyn, this was exactly the case.  Home Wrecker II delves deeper into the whys, showing the reader just how shattered her marriage really was.For me, loving Bo and Brooklyn was easy. I found myself rooting for them. They both seemed to be paired with not only the wrong people, but to ones that were harming them to their very core.  Brooklyn was married to a angry, controlling man and Bo was married to a very unstable, selfish woman.  As they try and start a new life together, the all consuming trial in their lives is Bo's ex, Ruth. Her emails and calls to him only go to show a very embittered woman who is quickly losing her grip on reality.This story serves to remind us that there are two sides to every situation. For Brooklyn, she continues to examine her motives and her actions; that after living through much heartache and oppression, she finally is able to stand up for herself. She is now in charge of herself as a person. She fully accepts her own actions, both good and bad, and is working on forgiving herself.  I look forward to the next book and to seeing the growth that both of them go through.
