Review: Questionable Theme

This book had some cute moments, and it was well-written, but the bad overwhelms the good. The underlying theme seems to say you have to be bad to find yourself and have fun, and there's a lot of bad--heavy cursing, Lesbian parties, male strip joints, and nude beaches, just to name a few. Mara Jane is tempted to have an affair with John, dates him, and kisses him. Her husband tries to convince her to come home to him. She won't and continues her fling. I can see she needed a vacation and was at the point to reassess her life, but I don't agree with the choices she made in the process. For me, this turned out to be a grimy read that left me feeling soiled.
