Jackie Storm has so many ex-girlfriends that they form a support group to try to figure out how to reclaim their lives in the aftermath of their love affairs with her. The story follows the life of ex Beth Marks, who lusts after Ana Kovaks, who falls for yet a third ex, Yuko Tanabe.
The story itself was well written but the underlying themes are what makes this book worth reading. 1) Loneliness and insecurity are not good enough reasons for a bad relationship. The void cannot be filled by illusions. 2) The past tends to be glorified in our minds which is what keeps us going back. Very highly recommended for anyone who still has fond memories of an unhealthy relationship or whose mind and heart conflict on an ex.
Great read!

I was skeptical at first about Jackie's Exes; wasn't sure it was something I'd be interested in. I read it on a recommendation and thought it was great. The style and content were refreshingly different from most lesbian literature available. It's worth the price, and the time spent reading. I'm very much looking forward to the sequel.
