Tainted Love is the follow up story of Tom and Isabel. This on was such a heart wrenching book for me to read because Isabel graduated high school and moved on to college. She was now a young adult and no longer had to hide her feelings for Tom. But she was going away to college and was not sure if there relationship would survive and Tom let me just tell you he infuriated me at times because he knew things were wrong from the beginning but he could not help himself. He allowed himself to fall in love with Isabel and have a relationship. Well now four years later Isabel is leaving him and starting a new life in college and he is not happy.Isabel is excited to be moving on and getting to start college. She meets some awesome people there and she starts to live her life. She is finally living a care free life with no lies or rumors and she does not have to hide who she is or who she is with. But old habits die hard as they say and Isabel misses Tom really badly. She is not used to not seeing him everyday. Whether it was at swim practice or in school she saw him and at college she is surrounded by other people. This adjustment is taking it's toll on her so when break comes and she gets to go home she is excited. She is dying to see Tom.When she gets home she and Tom start to see each other again and things just get complicated from there because Isabel starts to hear rumors that tom is seeing other younger girls just like he did with her. At first she is not sure what to believe but as things unfold Isabel will learn the truth about Tom and his ways and what she finds out and goes through will rock Isabel to the core. Has Tom been lying all this time to her? Has Tom always been like this? Is Tom with someone else? What about his family? His children?Once again I was torn by this book because it has so many things going on but the fact of the matter is Tom is still a teacher and he has crossed some serious lines here. Has he always been like this or was it a one time thing? Isabel will have to face some harsh and cold realities and she herself will start a relationship with a professor at her college. What will happen to Tom and Isabel in the end.........
