HOME WRECKER II BY BRENDA PERLINWhat a roller coaster of a ride through many emotions this book is.  Brooklyn casts herself as a home wrecker but as you read this fascinating story you may feel as I did, that she is far from the villain here.  I felt I wanted to tell her not to put herself down!As  Brooklyn recounts her past history in her own words, and the lead up to her falling in love with another man, Bo, and the subsequent break up of her own marriage, we experience how Brooklyn feels.  The fact that she suffers from a disease doesn't help matters. When Bo's hopefully soon to be ex pulls out the claws it is a miracle that Brooklyn survives the many attacks both physical and verbal.Ruth seems to get more and more deranged as we go on.  What havoc she causes is beyond belief.  She is a greedy, manipulative person.  She is playing every trick she can to get as much money as possible and puts so many obstacles in the way of any divorce.This book gives pause for thought about human nature and how we deal with problems.  I found it completely addictive.  What was going to happen next?  How would Brooklyn cope with the latest problem?  Would Bo also be able to cope?We all need an outlet when held within the grasp of seemingly unsolvable problems and Brooklyn turns to her writing for solace.This is an exceptional book which grips the emotions.  A definite must read worthy of five stars.
