It's so much happening in this story! I had to reread some of it to figure out! 

Lol 1st Alex is a drunk, her husband is a push over and need to grow some balls and she needs to stay out of out everyone business! 

Emily- you need to leave your husband you know he cheating on you! Stop running to your sister! He cheating and she can't help!!AND YO MAN IS A CREEP

Brooke- get that dude to stop stalking you! Stop being a pushover and acting like he harmless 

Amanda- just kill who you need to kill and heal baby girl! You most definitely deserve it!

And bugman! Stop being a pest! 

Willow- yo man is a CREEP!! 

And yall need to get a hold of yall kids they just running around drinking and doing drugs just out of control! 

Book was really awesome tho! Started out slow but picked up as it went!
