I got the impression the author had thought about this book for a long time and thrown everything in it, including love, passion, betrayal, addiction, loneliness, depression, religion, illness and death (by suicide or other). All set in a hedonistic New York where the above issues generally get the better of the 2 main characters (beautiful young artist and successful older ad-man) and their friends as they crash through their lives heading to destruction – or redemption ? A page turner and quite well written but it could almost be satirical as so many stereotypes featured .
