When it comes to the ultimate decision will he make the right choice. This was a great read and I honestly enjoyed it. (  ) lexiesmom | Aug 8, 2013 | The first half is a wonderful romance, period language, a late sixties Catcher in the Rye feel except that Dean and Theresa are both lovable. I kept thinking to myself 'it's going to go wrong now, no, not yet, yes, it's going to go wrong now'. That suspense combined with the great style employed makes for a fantastic piece of work. Then bang, down to earth in the second half of the book. First we take Manhattan - Dean has become a social rebel, sentenced to twenty years of boredom. The irony of the para-suicide failure due to inadequate gas is a smile during a bleak time in his life. Then Dean is a struggling author, makes a breakthrough and hits the big time. This works towards the long telegraphed reuniting of Theresa and Dean. Strangely he doesn't judge her for her capitalism (sure, love is blind). And that's not the end of the story as he can / will find her again (I was that soldier!). I have a sneaking suspicion that Dean will dump his socialist principles with his new found wealth and have a bit on the side with Theresa. So, in conclusion, the first half reads like an award-winning romance combined with a realistic development of the harsh realities of life. What a ride!

Born with blue in his collar instead of his veins, best-selling author Dean Cassidy chronicles his soul-scarring rise from New York's darkest alleys to a place high atop the literary world. As difficult and unlikely as such a climb is, there's yet another force working against Dean. He's forever haunted by treasured memories of his long-lost teenage soul-mate. Theresa! Theresa! Theresa! She just won't go away! Despite all Dean's hang-ups and mental baggage, he eventually does marry another woman. And for twenty years his wife, Maddy Frances, remains so giving (and forgiving) she deserves to be canonized a living saint. Even after she finds Dean unconscious at a botched suicide attempt--a time-faded photograph of Theresa clenched in his hands-her love never wavers. But is Maddy's loyalty enough to keep them together? Or will a force far stronger than fate alone change everything? (Be sure to check out Tom Winton's newest novel, The Last American Martyr.)

The main character bugged me big time. I was happy with his decision in the end, but during the rest of the book I found myself more and more annoyed with him. (
