The variety of characters was intriguing. The mother that is self involved, the stepfather that has had several strokes, the family friends that are invited often to dinner, and of course the daughter who ends up being the most affected by "the kiss," and all that follows.
The book is well written, and I needed to remind myself several times that is was a memoir and not fiction. It is hard to believe the dynamics of this family, and as a mother, would never put my daughter in such a position. A confidence such as this is too much for a teenage girl to handle emotionally, and should have been shared with a close friend.
All that said, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and would definitely recommend it to my friends!
