Eric Swift has landed his dream job as a TV sports anchor in New York. But the attention goes to his head and he finds himself drowning in too much sex and drugs. It's not like he really wants out of that world, either, because he's having way too much fun.
Until he decides that he wants his co-host, Eden Alexander. Eden is having nothing to do with him because his lifestyle is starting to interfere with his work and she's all about her career. Eric gets completely out of control and then a family tragedy forces him to face reality. In searching for his own spirituality and path back from his dissolute choices, maybe Eric and Eden can find their way to each other, too.
It's a rare day when I don't like the hero of a book, but I just didn't like Eric. I understand that some of his sexual escapades were supposed to be comical and that it's important for the reader to see the character grow and transition into a better person, but I didn't even like him by the end of the book. Maybe it's just that I missed the humor intended here -- it seemed as if the situations were real, but were parodies of what a person overwhelmed by fame and fortune would experience. Maybe that was intended and I'm missing the point... I just didn't get a good feeling for this book.
