This would have been a decent book if it centered on the relationships between the family members. Unfortunately, a main focus of the book is the relationship between the 17-year-old main character and her 22-year-old boss. The relationship is condoned by every character in the book included the parents of the 17-year-old. It's disappointing to say the least.

The more interesting components of the books are not developed properly. Mara and V go from enemies to friends with very little time devoted to how their relationship progressed. Mara goes from being hyper involved with everything academic and extra-curricular to not caring as much which wasn't necessarily a bad change, but the way it was written leaves a lot to be desired.
