Review: What a disappointment

I really enjoyed the first book in this series.  Yeah, the characters (especially Nicholas) were over-the-top but it added a lot of drama to the story, which I found entertaining.  This book I didn't much care for, even though I did manage to finish it.  Where Nicholas was entertaining in book 1 he was just plain annoying in this one.  His constant stomping around like a toddler, flying off the hook and not letting anyone explain anything made me keep thinking he needed to be on some serious meds.  Either that or he needed someone to explain to him that not everything and everyone revolved around him.  His callousness with Shannon appalled me and his acceptance of his mother's actions was disgusting.  I think Shannon was supposed to come off as a strong character but to me she seemed spineless.  The way she let Nicholas talk so horribly to her every time he misunderstood what was going on amazed me, especially since she was always so quick to forgive him.  I'm normally the reader who roots for the main characters to work out but when reading this book I kept thinking she could do so much better than him. The ending really disappointed me.One last BIG pet peeve of mine - Nicholas and his best friend Jase are always bantering back and forth, insulting each other.  Why is it an insult to men to be called a girl?  It felt like half their insults consisted of calling each other "little girls" or saying things like "my sister can hit harder than that".  The only thing worse than being called a girl would be to be called a guy, especially if they're anything like these two losers.
