I finished Backlash in basically one day. Backlash is good, but horrible, book. I had mixed emotions about some of the characters in the book. 
 LARA was okay. I could actually deal with Lara, and I enjoyed reading when she was narrating. The only part I didn't like Lara was in the beginning where I just got to know Lara. I thought she was an inconsiderate brat. Now, I think Lara was misunderstood, but I mean it still wasn't fair to Sydney to be treated as a second-class citizen. 
 SYDNEY, I liked Sydney. She was overlooked by her older sister's drama. She wanted a normal household but could never get it. She was bullied by students at her school because her sister tried to kill herself. 
 BREE was someone I hated. She is an inconsiderate brat. I could get she thought Lara was laughing at her, but to do something that evil is insane. She, also, could never stand up to her mother when she had the chance and caused to much drama. 
 LIAM was pretty awesome. He hated his sister which I thought was awful because no matter how bad her sibling does something, doesn't mean you should hate them.
