Annika and Seabee meet on an online chat room for authors (which in some ways is vaguely reminiscent of the kindle discussion boards, coincidence? :)) and share a few intimate details about their respective partners. Then, all hell breaks loose.I'm sometimes a little hesitant to try books with more than one author, as the differences in writing styles can be very jarring. However, in this book, those differences are what make the story as good as it is. Annika is a naive, perhaps pampered, woman whose husband is an angry invalid, while Seabee is the pill-popping, vodka-chugging slacker whose girlfriend drives him up the wall. The point of view switches between these two characters throughout the novel, allowing the reader to experience everything the two characters go through while one is in France, and one in London. This approach was a risk the authors took, and it really paid off.Bottom line, a fantastic read.
