One topic that was disturbing to read as it was introduced and played with so nonchalantly was...
The only storyline that captivated me throughout the whole book was the chapters about Deanna. She was a very loveable character and I enjoyed her overall progression and growth.
I would only recommend this book if you enjoy slow books and are willing to overlook some questionable beliefs/behaviors of the characters. It was published in 2000 after all. :)
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship and Cancer
