It's rare that I feel as if finishing a book is like pulling teeth, but that's exactly how I felt with this book.  Let's begin with the writing: there's no developed style of writing...I just couldn't get into this story.  It didn't pull me in and hold my attention. Next, the characters were so flat---there was no depth to the characters.  I certainly didn't feel like I was getting to see the personalities of Jamilla or Tony.  It was clear that Letta was a little crazy, but beyond that, there was no depth to her character, either! She was just weird making strange suggestions for Jamilla. Finally, the story was just silly---too many unbelievable twists in the story: the wives, the twins, etc.  There's only so much silliness I can allow as a reader before the novel becomes unacceptable.  This novel met that threshold! To top that off, the book was so rushed at the end, particularly the unexpected marriages!Sadly, the best part of the book was the first few pages, involving the sex scenes with Max and Jeanette.  The rest of the sex scenes were a bit blah...nothing very interesting.  This book was a big disappointment for me and will probably cause me to avoid any of this writer's future works.
