Having survived life in LA, I found Disconnected highly relateable. Cafesin transports the reader directly into LA life, via an addictive relationship with an addict. In the background, we see, hear, and feel all the glitz, glam, and social ills that colored the city in the 1990s. In response to the Rodney King riots, for example, Rachel is moved to do volunteer work. The author skillfully recreated that historic saga in vivid, evocative detail.Rachel and Lee's struggles, though fraught with peculiar idiosyncrasies, strike a chord of universal truth. We've all endured unhealthy relationships. We've often followed our hearts, not our brains, and repeated self-defeating patterns - in the name of sex, love, romance, or simply because we're taught that we're not worthy if we're not coupled.
The characters, story line, and setting keep the reader captivated throughout the book. Cafesin raises important questions regarding romantic and familial relationships, drug addiction, self-worth, and other psychosocial factors. The author writes with power, poignancy, and realism. It's a solid 5-star read that I strongly recommend.

Disconnected edition by J Cafesin Contemporary Romance eBooks Reviews
Have you ever realized that little voice inside your head is telling you secrets or giving you knowledge about situation? Yet when you blatantly ignore it your life falls into disconnect and depression. This is the premise of Disconnected. The simple act of little choices leading to disaster or worse. We follow one woman's journey which lead us to discoveries about ourselves. Even though she's being told "watch out" just doesn't listen. I find there are times when I just wanted to throw the book across the room over certain phrasing but restrained myself from doing so. Will you feel disconnected? Your answers await you in Disconnected.
This story is bought to you by the same author of Reverb. The author truly grasps emotional and mental processes of her characters that you can't help but follow along. As I was reading the story I felt a familiar cadence and had to know for sure if I was right. I'm happy to admit that I was right. Definitely need to read something that just takes me away for a bit of time without having to think. I look forward to this author's work in the future.
Have you ever been so addicted to something, whether it be from drugs, alcohol, food, sex, shopping...and there are numerous others, some even too weird to mention, that no matter how hard you try to stop, you find yourself going right back to your demon? I'm pretty sure that there isn't a soul in the world that doesn't suffer (?) from some sort of addiction. And yet, though we know we shouldn't indulge in our desired sin but we just can't help ourselves.
Rachel is a woman who's career has taken the forefront of her life, leaving her biological clock ticking away. Her parents are concerned that she has an addiction, and the fact that if she waits too much longer, no man will ever want her and she won't ever have the family that she longs for. She puts out a personal ad on a dating site hoping to find the last man she will ever be with.
Lee answers Rachel's dating site ad, and Rachel finds out that they have more in common than she wants. And yet, she can't help but be drawn to Lee as well, even to just feed her addiction as well as his.
This book is real life...or at least real life for so many, especially when your addiction fogs your mind to what you really desire. So many of us have self-harming tendencies, putting a proverbial gun to our heads with our addictions, and often we don't know how to stop. And when the relationship has a strong base of addiction, it could spiral out of control.
Disconnected is a strong book with characters and storyline that you will see yourself in. Taking place during the 90's, and during the time of the Rodney King riots in L.A., this is a must-read.
I remember when I purchased this book. I read the tag about ".....ever fall for someone you knew you shouldn't have" At that point I immediately knew I had to read it. My "falling" for someone may have not happened in the 1990's but in the late '70's. I was then abused for years both mentally and physically. I was disconnected from my family. I made believe everything was great. I made believe that if I married this person he would change and I would forever be looked at as the "saver".. Not enabler. Disconnected could have been my life! I would read it again and again! As woman we come across as trying to always be successful in all situations and if we don't then the gossip will come saying, " what's wrong with her!" I've lived this life in so many ways. I really wish more people would read this, you'll find yourself not just relating but seeing yourself for who you may be and who you may want to be, not Disconnected but CONNECTED!!
In Disconnected the character is disconnecting from herself. The LA scene, to me, seems something that can be impossible for this character to deal with. Like I said a lot of us do this. We think if we do the "scene" find "the guy" then our lives are perfect, but unfortunately they are just the beginning of the worst to come.
Many times it was difficult to read because I felt like Rachel was me and my husband was indeed Lee. Lee didn't give Rachel what she deserved, he wasn't attentive. Wow, just writing this makes me wish it wasn't as hard for me to bring up memories all over again.
I don't want to give it away. I guess that's the back reviewer in me. I don't give a synopsis, like cliff notes. But I can tell you that if you've ever gone down that road and have nearly completely lost yourself, not just because of another man or relationship, but starting off with bad habits i.e. Drugs, LA life, Glamorous and you start to find your life completely falling off the edge of a cliff...PLEASE, PLEASE read "Disconnected". I am in ❤️ with this authors ability to wake eyes up! Why should we pretend things aren't happening to us when they are?! Don't be disconnected with your life. Addictions, whether a man, or drugs, or over eating, can not just be harmful, they can literally kill you. If they don't kill you, they can kill you mentally.
This book is well worth 5 Stars! And I would highly encourage all of you to tell your friends to purchase it, before you become..disconnected...
