These characters are not pleasant. That a young man develops a crush for a woman is one thing, but continue to do so while married and having 2 young kids and other on the way, is unconscionable. Going on a fishing trip with said woman while your wife is about to have your 3rd child is reprehensible. I hade a very difficult time finishing this story. I hope that the others are not based on this subject. So based on this story alone, I will not buy this book.
