I wanted to love this book. Now, I wish I just could've liked it. It's one of those books where you just sit there after you read it and think WTF because really, WTF? I have siblings, and the relationships between siblings in this book were just... awkward. And uncomfortable. The whole sleeping with the same girl thing... no. The slutty 12 yr old sister... no. I just felt like there was too much going on in this book, like the author tried to cram as many issues and taboos into one book. It just didn't work for me. (view spoiler)[And Gideon's death - NO. This was the one character I actually DID love. (hide spoiler)] So even though I didn't love it, or really even like it, it made me feel a lot of strong emotions. Even years after reading it, I still just think WTF when I think about this one. Just... I don't even know.
