This was a very good book, but it sent my emotions reeling. I soooo want to shake the crap out of most of these people.Vivian--because she was such a snob, and let's not even talk about the way she bullied and belittled her daughter into doing what SHE wanted her to do. And what's even sadder, is that there are a bunch of parents out there doing the same thing to their kids, too.John--because he acted like he was Holier than Thou, when in truth; he was much worse than Nick.Clea---I wanted her to stop her wishy-washy ways. She knew right from the start what she wanted.... so why not act like an adult and do what she wanted to do, instead of letting other people run her life.Maude--because it was apparent that she did love her boys, but she decided she'd rather lose herself in a bottle of booze or pills. And what's up with her not visiting her son in jail? He was there for ten years, surely she could have made a point to visit him at least once or twice.The Senator and his whole family---because they didn't want to stoop so low as to have anything to do with those less fortunate.There were so many twists and turns in this book it made my head spin, but the twist at the very end was the most surprising. I never saw that coming at all.Would I recommend this book? Oh yeah, in a heart beat!
