Ugh this was a mediocre read - I liked the stories premise but it just fell flat. There was quite a lot of content that kind of upset me - i.e. the way Colleen was so desperate to get Pauline to change and act like a weak helpless woman to get a guy to notice her. Pauline was a really cool character (probably my favorite) and it was really sad to see her try and change herself especially when in the next breath she got mad at her step mum for trying to change her stepsister to be more pretty.
It was also annoying how Colleen lets the adults around her act like children, she never ever tells them off and tells them to grow the hell up. Her mother acts like a baby, her dad is an asshole and her stepmother is pretty crap too (though I liked how we got to know her a bit better closer to the end).
Lucas is also an asshole, he swans back into her life and pushes her for sex even though she makes it clear she doesn't want to risk her heart again. HE lied to her, HE got someone else pregnant, HE married that women like 2 months after telling her he wasn't ready to get married then HE lied to her again crippling her self esteem for a decade but then gets mad that she slept with his cousin.
Also it was strongly insinuated that Ellen was up to something but then nothing ever happened.
All in all this was really, I didn't really root for the main couple and in fact I wish Colleen told Lucas to hit the road the same way her mother did with her father.
