Summary: Unbelievable
Review: Romance Novels are not documentaries. The best ones are works of fantasy and whimsey that are based loosely on reality. I don't know from what alternate universe this book came from. A former Supermodel who just gave birth to the boyfriends (Oscar) second child, finds out that he is cheating. Oscar tells her that she is now fat and saggy and to get out. She leaves in the middle of the night with a two yr old and a six week old baby, without any stuff at all (not even diapers) because Oscar won't let her take anything. Oscar has spent all of her money leaving her penniless. She goes to an old friends house (our hero - Ben) and discoveries that she has always been in love with him. Parts of the plot I could not get behind : So, was Oscar never a jerk until he kicked her out? What did she see in him? Why did she have two children with him if he never wanted children? Two birth control failures? This is never explained. When Ben asks if she is going to sue for child support she says that Oscar would rather leave the country than pay so she is not going to pursue it. Oscar spent all of her money and was living a life of luxury. When Ben asks if she can get some of the money back, she says, well, he'll just say I spent it all, no use pursuing it. I had a hard time sympathizing with this heroine's trials.
