This novel is the second in the Soulmates Dissipate
series. This time the storyline spanned several years where we see Jada and
Wellington living separate lives, Jada giving birth to Darius, him going to
college, dropping out, becoming a womanizer and the drama continues. Throughout
it all, Jada and Wellington are still pining for each other although they were
married to other people.
After Jada’s mother died she decided to come clean
about her feelings for Wellington and fessed up to Wellington that Darius wasn’t
his son. Despite knowing this, Wellington still loved Jada and Darius as his
son. In the end, Jada and Wellington remarried to the chagrin of scorned ex-lovers.
I totally get that sometimes when you find your
soulmate you can go to the depths of the world to be with them but the message
was a bit mangled in this novel. Overall, it wasn’t a bad read and I would give
the next novel in the series a try.
My
favorite lines:
“I
hear congratulations are in order.”
The
tone was sharp and rather cynical. Hopefully, Wellington wouldn’t lower the
volume, because she could hear the person on the other end.
“You
must have the wrong number,” Wellington responded.
“Oh,
I never have the wrong number when it comes to you.”
Silence
lingered; then Wellington said, “How did you get my new number? Look. Don’t
ever call me again. I’m happily married now.” Wellington sat up on the edge of
the bed and rubbed his head as his penis slumped over his balls. Wellington
shook his head from side to side.
“Who
is it?” Jada impatiently asked.
Wellington
signed heavily, stared directly at Jada, and frowned. Jada took the phone.
“Hello.
Who is this?’
“Enjoy
the honeymoon while you can, because I never signed the divorce papers. Ah, ha,
ha, ha, ha, ha, Melanie roared.
