So many dysfunctional characters! Nina returns to Tahoe to try to take advantage of a family that did her wrong…she needs $ for her mother’s medical bills…hard to buy some of the stuff that happens in the middle, but I was entertained enough.

This book was captivating enough. I wasnt dying over it. And I would say that it took well over half way for it to be really interesting. It switches back and forth between two different characters and their perspectives. Each of their stories were interesting and I was never bored. It’s hard for be to write an unbiased review because this just wasn’t the type of book that I die over. I like relationship driven books. And this is not the focus of this book. But overall, it was quick, easy and entertaining. I would recommend it to just about anyone. - ah and also beware of some language. Quite a few F words and few others that are even nastier than that!

Great book! Really good story line and was very interesting all the way till the end. I'm glad Nina was able to make something of her self in the end and owned up to the fact that she made bad choices.

I stayed interested but I thought it would have been more sitting on the edge of my seat. I also felt like there was a lot of info that we didn’t need but wanted more on other characters.
