High Maintenance

by Andrea Ring

What guy wouldn’t want to be married? Fresh coffee, clean laundry, and willing sex 24/7...right? Okay, I wasn’t so naive when Lisa and I got married that I actually thought she would wait on me hand and foot. I mean, I knew that she wouldn’t always be available for a nooner - she had a job, too. But I had a vision about how our life would work - everything would be exactly the same as before, except Lisa would always be there. Ryan Miller's finally taken the plunge, and he's in for a rude awakening.

High Maintenance is written from the point of view of Ryan Miller and his expectations of marriage; in reality he didn't have a clue what marriage was supposed to be like. Although Lisa his High Maintenance wife changed the first week of marriage from a sexually active date to a working woman with a career that was more important than Ryan, he stuck with her. This was the start of his adventures with dealing with cancer, HIV, his best friend being a swinger and lots of other problems that comes with life. Ryan's saving trait is he remains faithful and takes care of those he cares for in a crisis. High Maintenance is a comment on our modern society and the new problems we have made for people living now and how to overcome difficulties in a honorable and steadfast manner.

Decent book. It had a few funny scenes. It reminded me of a billion Lifetime Network movies. Boy meets girl, they each go off to college, then break up. Boy moves on to new girl, starts new life...then "something" happens to change things. Anyway a good read I wasn't expecting it to end the way it did. Although, II felt like it didn't wrap everything up completely, the reader just has to assume what happened.
