Do You Take This Woman?

Do You Take This Woman?

RM Johnson

*** ( 3/5)

I’m a big fan of Mr. Johnson. Million Dollar Divorce was a great read, this one- not so much.

Even reading the book the premise sounds kind of crazy, but hey as long as I’m reading about drama a not living it.

Carla meets Pete and Wayne one night and both are smitten with her, but Wayne is able to seal the deal and they begin a relationship. However, Wayne’s best friend who saw her first, want her so he decided, tell Carla of Wayne’s infidelities, ending Wayne and Carla and beginning of Peter and Carla . Pete and Carla end up together and are (happily?) married, but then Pete cheats on Carla and admits to it. Carla tells Pete that the only way to even the score is for her to cheat. Pete agrees ( WTH) as long as he chooses the man ( WTH!) and he chooses Wayne ( ??????). Of course Carla and Wayne rekindle their romance and what follows is a slippery descent into hell ( Carla ends up pregnant, there is a fight, someone is arrested…) any situation that begin like this one, will NEVER end well.

What man would allow his wife to sleep with another man- who also happens to be his best friend and her former lover????? NEVER EVER GONNA HAPPPEN! What woman would suggest that in a marriage? Or at least one as “wifely” as Carla is said to be. I know this is fiction, but the reality factor was so off the map, I just kept rolling my eyes.

The drama is good, and you’ll keep turning the pages (if you can get past the craziness and completely unrealistic aspects) and it’s a perect read for an airplane or a hospital/airport kind of wait.

3 stars for unrealistically. 4 stars if you are a drama fiend.
