I quite agree with you. I also found it strange the way Jennifer was able to leave to rescue her team, without a convincing explanation to her new husband.
I found that very odd, too. Anybody in Marty’s position would want to know more about where his new wife was going, what she would be doing, and for how long. Marty’s reaction is too unrealistic.

Also, I really didn't like the fact that she was comfortable using another persons money, name etc. isn't that illegal as well as completely unethical ?
ethics gone wrong.. the characters are like this only.

I also had issue with how freely she used the money, and how little it seemed to bother her that she had to lie so much. It may have bothered her a little, but not enough to come clean to anyone.

I think as Jennifer and Marty's relationship progressed, it became more of a physical relationship than an emotional one. Their friends became involved too, and I think this distracted from the point of the story as a whole. The relationship became unhealthy as they started getting together just to have sex.

It is very real. Sex can be a spoiler as it is a strong emotion in itself.

While I can’t say whether or not it was healthy, it definitely took away from the story as a whole.

Yes..
That is the most criticized part of the book..

I really appreciated martyr and Jennifer relationship because Jennifer needed love and attention after all what She passes through during her survival.She became trustful and knowing what She wants un life.

She did need love and attention, I agree. I think it would be a stronger relationship, though, without so many outside factors. However, it seems to be working for them so far, I guess.

Sex often is corrupting. It can stop our minds from thinking much.

I'm definitely glad they found each other. Both had suffered a loss in some way, and deserved something positive in their lives. Maybe they went a little extreme there with all of the sexual partners, but maybe this was the first time one or both could really be themselves.

You bring up good points, but I still think the explicit scenes were a bit out of control. As far as them falling for each other, I found that refreshing.
