This book was terrible! I love morally gray characters and dark romance, but the writing in this book was just all over the place. Mom has cancer, very generic story line. The author obviously did little to no research into this, it's just the mom has cancer and then she can't work. Huge info dump in the first few pages and the fact that a teenage girl working a part time job to support her family in what seems like a very rich area, that's not even possible even with changing credit cards. Also the constant way the author makes sure to tell the reader how poor they are, the mom would have gotten disability and all kinds of help if she couldn't work due to health problems. Seriously, dear Sam learn to research! Also the whole thing with trying to have "houses like Harry Potter " story line she just randomly starts talking about halfway thru the book, just seems completely irrelevant. I finished this book, because I really wanted it to get better, it doesn't, trust me, read something else.
