One of the factors that make a book a very good one is the impact it has on your emotions, not only while you’re reading it, but also after the end of it. So, that’s how I can easily say that this book is really an amazing one because the impact it had on mine was a big one.
It’s about the different stages Nick aka Scar and Jules‘s relationship goes through during the years.
BUT!!! That’s WHERE the book gets really clever and, along with Scar and Jules’s story, it talks also about the sex addiction and the biggest problem of the most of today’s relationships, the cheating.
But let’s begin from the start and get back to Scar and Jules!
Nickolas Scar Wagner and Jules Blakely meet during their final year at senior high school and have become best friends ever since. They both are coming from wealthy families and both are dealing with problems which makes them bond faster creating a friendship with very strong foundations.
The book is actually telling what happens between the two of them when they reconnect after almost a decade. And I strongly believe that this is the moment where I should pay my respect to the amazing Lacey Silks for the awesome first scene of the book. It really cracked me up like nothing else!!
The story has an intensity that you can’t find easily in a book. Also, the variety of the emotions that sparks inside you is really remarkable. There are many scenes that will have you laugh really hard, staring at the screen (or the pages) open-mouthed, biting your nails to the core from agony of what will come next and even some that will fill you with a bit of sadness. But nothing of them all can change the fact that this is a book that worth your time and that you can’t help but to love it!
As for the characters, each one of them is a whole different unique world who, when you put them all together in a story, they send it in a whole new level. But I think I should say a few words about Jules and Scar as the star-characters and let you discover on your own the captivating amazingness of the others.
Scar and Jules are two characters who became very special to my heart from the start because of all these situations that they have gone through. And seeing them dealing with the after effects of them while fighting for a new dimension in their relationship just make them much more lovable.
Lacey Silks has created a story that not only speaks about love and friendship, but also about the severity of sex addiction and about the big problem of cheating. Through the story, she makes you see some things in a different prespective.
I recommend it undoubtedly because you don’t find easily, books that are so well-written and that leave you breathless.
NOTE: Before you start reading Cheaters Anonymous, you should read first the “When things go wrong” which is the prequel of the actual story.
This story is a continuation from When Things Go Wrong. It picks up from where that book ended.
Scar comes crashing back into Julia’s life in such a fun, LOL way, too bad he doesn’t realize it is her. When Julia cannot get Scar off of her mind, she decides to head to the strip club Hounds (the same place he was at when he came into the ER) in hopes of seeing him. While Julia is scared and nervous to be in Hounds because of her past, she has a much stronger desire to see Scar.
When she sees Scar all those feelings come crashing back and he seems just as excited to see her. Quickly these two realize that maybe there is more to these feelings than they realized. Too bad neither of them do relationships and Julia has sworn off men for the last two years. Scar wants to be with Julia any way he can and is convinced he can win her over. For the first time in his life he wants to try and have a relationship. Too bad things from Julia’s past seem to keep getting in the way. When danger starts to affect Julia’s life, Scar has had enough and decides to go into alpha mode.
It will take a crazy, unthinkable story line to get these two to a happy ending but boy is it worth the ride. I just loved both of these broken characters. It took them a long time to realize that what both of them were always searching for was just each other! This story will make you laugh, cry and swoon.
