Love Gone Wrong is first of all a work of fiction. Secondly, this is a rendering told from many points of view of what can happen when love is no longer the beautiful thing it started out to be. Having said that, events are described realistically and are easily identified as those witnessed daily in our lives and in the world around us. I believe readers will recognize familiar scenarios all too often devastatingly devoid of love.The wording in the title suggests a beginning and an end. The storyline progresses descriptively from a very sweet and loving relationship between Cheryl and Mike to one that dissolved into abuse and deceit effectively destroying the relationship. Not only is the deteriorating relationship between Cheryl and Mike recounted in sometimes disturbing detail, there are children, parents, friends and associates who are also drawn in and who also suffer to varying degrees.The noel is not limited to, or always focused on, the relationship between Cheryl and Mike. The familial desire to protect our loved ones, our personal need for respect in our relationships and how badly hurt people hurt people badly is portrayed in Love Gone Wrong.
