Into the Skid by J. H. Trumble
This is the fourth book she has written to date. Where the other three were connected, this one was not. This one also isn't young adult, which is cool, since I am actually an adult and should be reading adult things. Ha.
Patrick has been married to Liz for some time. They have two children together, Wes and Oliver. The thing is, Patrick doesn't love Liz. No, that's not the right word...Patrick doesn't desire Liz because Patrick is gay. He recently reconnected with Isaiah, who he grew up with, who he has always been in love with.
Liz, because she is feeling neglected, gets involved, and not in a good way, with the boys' tae kwon do instructor. She also feels betrayed by Patrick when he finally shares with her that he is in love with someone else. Then Liz attempts to make Patrick's life hell--she destroys his clothes, tries to keep the boys from him, etc,
I hated Liz, until the very end of the book. I mean, I get it, she was hurt, but I don't think her actions in marrying Patrick were entirely noble. It is mentioned at least a couple of times that she married Patrick to piss off her parents and because he could give her the life she thought she deserved.
