When Zane Hollister returns home to Las Vegas after two years in prison and discovers his showgirl-lover is with another guy, he goes ballistic. After stalking and taunting the couple for months, his toxic jealousy takes a darker turn. To wipe out Colton, Zane masterminds a devilish zip line accident and a terrifying car crash. When those fail, he resorts to kidnapping Jen and forcing her to marry him. And it gets even worse when Zane shoots Colton’s boss, Matt, by mistake as he aims for Colton in a horrific drive-by shooting.
With Matt lingering in a coma, Jen’s cocktail-waitress mother, Brandi, absorbs a seismic shock of her own. After hearing Matt’s name on the local news, she realizes he’s her first love of decades past—and Jen’s real father.
Will Matt emerge from his coma to reunite with Brandi and Jen? Do the cops nab Zane, who’s hiding out in Hawaii? And can Jen and Colton’s love survive Zane’s lethal jealousy?
There’s a happy ending for some, but not for all, in Pop-Out Girl.

Summary
Jen's life goes from zero to one hundred in a split second. Kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend, she makes every attempt to get free, and when she does, she learns the truth about her past.
The telling of this story is a bit choppy. It is divided into sections and each section is about a different person connected to Jen. We start with her and the kidnapping. There is a rape, though it is not detailed or graphic. Then, we jump to her mother and go back in time to tell her mother's story.
Each section feels like it could have been expanded into separate stories to be better told. We spend a lot more time with Jen's mom, so I feel like I came to know her better than Jen herself. As stated in the description, there are happy endings, but not for everyone. There is one particular person who is a real jerk by the end.
Overall, it is an interesting story and it was fascinating to see each person's story and how they all connected to Jen.
