One day, Nick Donovan had it all; a beautiful, pregnant wife, a nice house, a great job. The next day he is on his own, starting from scratch with nothing but a few suitcases and his old truck. Nick flees to the opposite coast of Florida, trying to leave his ex-wife and the memories behind. But that couldn't happen. Soon Nick finds that he is tied to Shelley in a way that he hadn't expected. And, in her bitterness, she does everything she can to ensure his misery. Brandy is Shelley's opposite; wild, sensual, free-spirited. With Brandy, Nick is able to rebel against all that Shelley stands for. Brandy quickly leads Nick into a world of sex, drugs, and cash. And now Nick finds himself caught between the two worlds, desperate to stay afloat.
This book actually gave me a surprise. I felt Nick's emotions as if they were my own; I hated Shelley for many reasons: She is bitter, mean, selfish and unfaithful. And I disliked Jimmy because he was so fake that I wanted to yell at him. He still acted as if he was Nick's best friend when Nick dropped by to sort out certain matters.
Nick's girlfriend, Brandy is a party girl who deals drugs and never think about her life seriously. She is always in debt and lack of money. Her best friend, Jenna is the opposite of her. Jenna has a good job and is a good person, but her boyfriend is a drug junkie who is seriously addicted to weed and cocaine. I kept wondering why did she fall in love with such a man? What did she see in him? He even hit her once.
Each character in this book has his/her own story, and their lives intersect one another to make up Miami Snow, which is what makes it so interesting. I would recommend this book to readers who prefer to read about things that happen in real life, and how people make choices to become who they are.
