Ok first of all I think the book had promise. Loving the characters and really hating on some and I hope they get what's needed to come to them for what they've done to Cassie. Honestly I think Cassie just needs to bitch slap her mother. My only problem with this book is it needs more substance and interaction with characters besides sex in almost every chapter it seemed to me. I'm no prude by any means but I need more interaction besides just sex between two main characters. This story definitely has potential, and I will be reading book 2 just to see what happens and how it ends. thanks jamie nibarger ellis
