I loved everything about this book!  Plot...pacing...character development...writing....it all clicked!  This is one of the first stories I read about what it's like to live with an alcoholic that didn't portray the person as either a victim or a saint.  Trey loves and hates his mom, and Heidi and Marie do a great job of putting the reader in his head so that these conflicting emotions make perfect sense.  Trey's speech midway through about "disease", "hope" and "promise" nearly broke my heart.  They are some of the most honest words ever put to paper I've seen in a long time.Not to be forgotten, I loved Vince and his journey to discovering who he is and what he wants.  We should all be so lucky to have a family like his.  The scene with his mother in the coffee shop was one of my faves!It's rare that I remember so many moments in a book.  And I could go on and on describing instances like the ones above that stood out to me.  However, I just say get this book and prepare yourself for one helluva read!  Very recommended.
