I was a little disappointed. I wanted Megan to be pregnant by Jeff. THAT would have been the kind of J Cobbs story that I'm used to; chaos all around, utter madness, turns and twists and insanity! But I'm guessing she pared things down here to tell a more straightforward story and I didn't regret it. Stormy's circumstances, sadly, make me think may indeed be the fate of too many daughters of single mothers. But she gets her hustle on and builds a life for herself. Her relationship with Stacey, or lack thereof, was something else. This was a hard book to read because there are almost no heroes, just survivors. Kinda like life.
