I found Candy self-centered and uncaring. She has a stalker after her but is more concerned with Sam finding out about her past, which if she had been upfront about he would see that it was more of circumstances out of her control and choices made by a desperate child, than protecting herself, him or his kids. For crying out loud the stalker breaks into their house and still she holds back. Plus she expects Sam to love her when she's not being honest about who she is, not even to herself?And who would treat their parent that way. He clearly needs help and yet she continues to allow him to live in those conditions. My mom developed dementia and me and my siblings did everything possible to ensure she was taken care of, i.e eating right, bathing, etc even though at first she denied needing or wanting the help.And as for Sam what grown man locks the bedroom door? Clearly he still saw it as his house. His support was lacking, she doesn't ask him to help her with her studies because when he comes home the last thing he wants to talk about is medicine. Her studies start to slip after she moves in with him because of the new responsibilities she takes on but his life doesn't change whatsoever? Apparently he did not see them as equals in the relationship.Now Garrett I found his character well-developed and believable and I kept reading to see what he would do next. I found myself more into him than the other characters. So other than Garret the only other shining parts of this book was it wasn't full of typos and bad editing and it only cost 99 cents.
