Truth: Evan & Krystal

by Lucy Rinaldi

There's no easy way for me to say this, Krystal, but the biopsy we took from the lump in your breast was malignant. I'm afraid you have breast cancer.

Krystal: Those are not the words a woman wants to hear any day in her life. I've had the worst three months of my life. My baby boy died, the man I loved walked out on me the very same day. He took to sleeping around like I never meant anything to him. And I do mean he sleeps with any woman that crossed his path. Age, race, size, looks, none of that matters. As long as she has a pu**y between her legs, he's all up in it. Leaving me to grieve our son all alone.

If all of that wasn't bad enough, now I've been diagnosed with breast cancer and I can't afford the treatment I'll need to survive this. You know what makes this whole thing worse? There's no one for me to turn to, no one for me to lean on. My best friend just had a baby, my sister lives in Germany, and my parents? They're not the kind of parents to care about their children.

They'd think of me as a burden to them. I don't want to be that to anyone.

I don't know what will become of me, but I do know that I've messed up bigtime. I stupidly left my diary in a place Evan managed to find it. Now he wants to help me. To be there for me through everything. Why on earth would I want that lying, cheating pig to help me now when he couldn't be there for me after our son died?

Evan: I'm everything she says I am. A liar, a cheat, I'm no good to anyone, I'm a waste of air. I left her when she needed me the most. But what she doesn't realize is, I didn't do it hurt her. It's a copout, I know. But it's the truth. Something happened to me the day my son died. Something snapped inside of me, something broke and I don't know how to fix it.

That's why I fill my time with willing women. Anything I can do to try and forget, I'll do it. Trouble is, nothing works. I can't forget the woman I love. I know I don't deserve her, I never did. But then I find out she has breast cancer and no way to pay for treatment.

There is nothing in the world I won't do for that girl. Treatment paid for! I'm scared out of my mind that I'll lose her. I can't lose her. I know I did wrong, but I had my reasons. I'll show her how sorry I am. No matter what I have to do, I will not give up on her. I will show her what she means to me, and I will help her through this, no matter what I have to do.

This is def one of the worst cheating books I have ever read! I had nothing but contempt for both the MC’s. She lost the their baby and he walked out and cheated on that same day! For three months he slept with a different women almost every night whilst not thinking about his girlfriend that he walked out on when she needed him the most! She finds out she has breast cancer and he invaded her privacy by reading her diary and finds out too. Suddenly he wants to be there for her and the pathetic cow just takes him back just like that. I kid you not but when she found out about the cancer she bumps into the Dick and she wants to have sex with him to “forget” her pain. He had literally just left another woman who he had thoughts about because he had sex with her twice in one night and the only other person he had ever had sex with more than once had been his doormat girlfriend. We also find out that actually he had had sex more than once a night with another woman who had photographic images two years prior. Crystal the doormat was weak and pathetic and I know I should have felt sorry for her because she had cancer (my heart goes out to people who are confronted with that believe me) but I only felt contempt that she forgave this cheating weak excuse of a man so easily. Where was her self respect and the true rightful anger about him deserting her?? Let’s also not forget about him having dirty thoughts about his therapist in the beginning. We have the doormat’s thoughts about mistakes and forgiveness and true love blah blah blah. I just wanted to whack her and her easy acceptance that apparently he had a “breakdown”. A breakdown that lasted over three months of continuous sleeping around. She didn’t even ask him to have an STD check as she knows he is vigilant about his health and would have used condoms. How the fuck does she know that? She’s been aware of his sleeping around with anything with a vagina but she doesn’t even care about her own sexual health! In no way do I see a happy ending with this couple he was a whore before and after her and his sudden turnaround after her illness was in no way believable. This book was REVOLTING!! I am fuming after reading this.
