** spoiler alert ** 
 I actually really didn't like this book...I expected something completely different and I really didn't like the way the author incorporated the back story into the main theme. I felt like she was avoiding the actual issue by covering it up with something else instead of creating a story that would apply to other kinds of situations. Idk. I just wasn't really impressed and I really hated the way it ended because they could have totally blamed so much stuff on the mom who deserved it and instead it was like this messed up police thing and suicide??? really?? I'm not all for a disney-ending every time but the book just got way too serious. I just really didn't like it.
