This is a collection of three stories about love gone wrong by three different authors.All three of the stories could do with a good edit.  There are a lot of distracting errors and some instances where the wrong name is given for a character.The first story is about a woman who escapes her abusive relationship and starts over in a new city.  I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but it got pretty crazy.  Child abuse, multiple shootings, a couple of different attempted murders, and a crazy dream sequence.  It was a roller coaster ride -- not very realistic, but certainly entertaining.With all that action, I thought I was ready for the second story . . . but it was honestly one of the most insanazoid plots I have ever read.  A young woman who works in PR does everything for her struggling actor boyfriend, but he's determined to treat her poorly.  This story was action-packed, hilariously off-the-wall, and entertaining.  It pretty much ends in a total blood bath.  There is some anti-semitism in this story, so readers sensitive to that should be aware before downloading.I was ready for another crazy story, but the final story slows things down quite a bit (not in a bad way).  It sounds odd to say that about a story that begins with two women beating up another woman and includes a suicide attempt, but that's how crazy the second story was.  It's about two women who struggle to deal with their bad relationships and it has the most open-ended ending of all three of the stories.If you aren't too particular about editing, these stories are certainly entertaining.
