Lily Crandell has some advice for the rest of us: Never
marry a rock star. You know, they lie, cheat, drink too
much and do drugs. And there are all those groupies hanging
around all the time. Hmmm...She's probably right!
I DID (BUT I WOULDN'T NOW) is the story of Lily as she jets
across the pond to Great Britain to escape assault charges
pending against her by ex-husband, rocker Ted Dayton of the
Dayton Five. Lily and Ted had quite a tumultuous marriage
and their divorce is even more so. Ted, the self-centered
artist, has taken up with Melanie Slate -- Hollywood's
latest bombshell with a killer body and no brain.
Lily's hatred for Ted fuels her desire to torture him in
juvenile ways, such as placing prank phone calls and
sending out phony news releases just to screw with him. She
does everything a person fantasizes about after a break-up
to torture an ex -- things a sane person would never do.
Lily is extremely likable and easy to relate to, even in
her exaggerated state, probably because her character is
honest about her ugly, yet funny, feelings.
I loved reading about Lily, the sarcastic star of
Lockwood's latest novel, a follow-up to I DO (BUT I DON'T)
featuring Lily's straight-laced sister Lauren. This is the
first Lockwood novel I've read, and I'll be sure to pick up
her other works. Filled with plenty of pop culture
references, I DID (BUT I WOULDN'T NOW) is a light, fizzy,
refreshing, fun read!
