Loved this book! A very moving story of a family on the brink of destruction. A step-mother caught up in the emotional tension of a very trying teenage daughter and the helplessness of being able to create the idealistic family she has dreamed of. At times funny, heartwarming and sensitive; at others, heartbreaking and infuriating.....the reader will no doubt recognize and empathize with many of the characters. Jane Green at her best.
Decent story, although at times it seemed the author backtracked when it really wasn't necessary. I also didn't think her English accent, although fun to listen too, fit the story being told in first person by people who lived in California (and were native Californians). Definitely not a book for someone to pick up who doesn't like swearing ... there were several scenes that included a lot of vulgar language.
entertaining, easy read - I enjoyed the characters and overall story. Ending somewhat predictable
Very predictable
