I was not impressed with this book.  Many parts were much too drug out, and some parts were just plane confusing, it read like it needed a good proofreading.The story would have been better if the characters were older. I don't see any reason why they all had to be so young, in fact their ages were a big part of what made the story unbelieveable to me. Shawnna managed to graduate highschool early even though she had a terrible upbringing and even spent time living on the streets. It would have made more sense for her to just graduate at a normal age and be a year older then she was. Conrad was only 21 and a lawyer. There is no way he could have finished undergrad and law school by 21. There was also no reason for him to be so motivated to get married and start a family when he was so young.  I just did not buy it.The character development was not very good. With good charcters I am able to get lost in the story and feel like they are real people.  The characters in this book did not feel real to me.The ending was also a disappointment, it was over the top and too cheesey for me. It did not fit in with the grittyness of the story.I gave it two stars because it was good enough to finish and I did not feel like I totally waisted my time after reading it but it is not a story that is going to stick with me, or that I would recommend to others.
