Were They on a Break or Not?: Did Ross cheat on Rachel?

How many times have you heard around the watercooler people say that Ross did not cheat on Rachel because they were on a break? Not only did you disagree, but you felt like screaming because you couldn’t believe people actually have the nerve to defend Ross’s actions, and to make things worse, put the blame on Rachel.

This has been a very popular debate since that episode aired, and until this day, author Pilar Lerma still wonders why that’s even a question. Well, you’ll be glad to know that you’re not the only Team Rachel. There’s actually an explanation that will finally answer that question.

Lerma explains the theory behind why people feel they need to defend Ross and most definitely explains why his relationship with Rachel was so complicated by digging deep into his narcissism and how his flaws are exhausting.

Will their love story have a happy ending?

About the Author Pilar Lerma is a TV enthusiast who decided one day to put all those hours to use and start writing about the TV characters who had the most profound impact on her. This phenomenon is also known as parasocial attachment. Some people create these attachments from books, movies, or even video games.

Lerma has always dreamt of becoming a movie critic, especially when she disagreed with the point of view of others, but that was not in the books for her. No pun intended.

She dedicates this book to her two daughters, Vanessa and Nicole, and granddaughter Izzy who are avid readers, and that’s an understatement. Between the three of them, they read over two hundred books a year, and one day, she thought, “Wouldn’t it be great if one of those books they read was written by Pilar Lerma, their mother and grandmother.” All she ever wanted was to find a way to be part of that elite literature group of the beloved three.
