Violet Parry is an emotional wreck and she doesn't see a way out of it. Her husband, David, is at a loss as to what, exactly. in her life is so hard. She doesn't work, she's got unlimited funds, he's given into her whims and their one year old is taken care of by LadyGo, their nanny. Everything about this makes him angry and mean, which drives her further into her despair. David's sister Sally is 36, single and desperate to change that. She meets Jacob and immediately lures him in, before he gets famous, so he'll remember they fell in love before the fame soon to be bestowed upon him. One day, Violet is out driving around listlessly when she meets Teddy Reyes, a down and out bass player with Hep C and is a recovering junkie and sex addict. Given that, how could Violet do anything but fall in love with him?

Entertaining though this book certainly was, it didn't, I had a hard time finding the book engaging me. The main characters were hardly likable and my sympathies lay with Jeremy and Teddy. All in all, a fun, cynical (oxymoron?) quirky book with an ending filled with surprises.
