All the Things I’m Missing at Home
About
All the Things I’m Missing at Home is the story of two married couples and one hell of a sixth degree of separation.
Staci and Donovan haven’t been the same since tragedy wreaked havoc on their marriage. Staci is battling an addiction that Donovan stands no chance against. Since Donovan faults Staci for their farce of a marriage, he seeks solace elsewhere, which leaves Staci to find comfort in the arms of another.
Jerome and Sheila have been in love since college … however, Sheila has gone from a loving, devoted wife to an all-around career woman. She no longer has time to show her husband love and affection. When a man’s fed up, he searches for that love and affection in the arms of another woman.
These two couples’ worlds collide, while outside influences are at play, and drama ensues in this sensual tale about addiction, adultery, deceit, and manipulation.
Praise for this book
Whew Chile! I don’t know what I was expecting when I started this book, but I may just need one of Stacy‘s drinks after finishing this. Where is the sequel? As wild as a ride as this was, I am dying for more! This book held my attention from page one and literally held me captive until the end! So many twists and turns, Lawd! I need the sequel immediately, please!!!
Nikki-Michelle has done it again! Her art is definitely imitating (someone’s) life.
When an author can draw you into the characters so vividly you feel as though you know them, know their joy, pain, struggles (or hell it could be you) then you KNOW their work is well written. Nikki-Michelle does just that.
This is the third book I’ve read by Nikki-Michelle and I have yet to be disappointed. Wait – the ending…I wasn’t disappointed in regards to it was horrible because it wasn’t. It was just one hell of a cliffhanger! Which is good. But I still had a few choice words for Ms. Nikki-Michelle . Nikki-Michelle takes you on yet another journey of what you think you know about these characters isn’t what’s going on at all! There were several “didn’t see that coming” moments throughout the book.
I don’t want to give anything away so I’ll keep my review – “general”. Both of these couples have spent decades together. But does that mean they know their spouse as well as they should…or even as much as they thought they did? The demons from childhood / adolescence are very present in lives of both couples and have had a great impact on their relationships. You will gasp in SHOCK when you learn the truths, realize the connections, and how much damage can be caused when people aren’t living their truths, haven’t addressed their past and the ripple effects of vengeance.
