"Jenna and Jeremy knew their parents' marriage was in trouble. Mom and Dad didn't talk much, and when they did, they had to work really hard at being civil. But no one would have predicted what came next. The headline read COLLEGE SHRINK KILLS WIFE, and suddenly everything changed.
Now with Mom dead and Dad in jail, Jenna and Jeremy must re-create a life and family of their own. But a silent distance grows between them as each guards a secret that could send their fragile new lives into a tailspin."



--This book is kinda weird so far. All it's talked about is how their dad killed their mom, and the teenage daughter drawing her vagina on a bathroom stall. OKAYYY then, haha.

***Kay. Finished this book.
it's HORRIBLE. if you like this book, my apolgies, but i hate it.
it's coming from a little boy and a fourteen year old girl's thoughts and all it is is boobs, vaginas, and other things? sorry but that's disturbing.

This is horrible. HORRIBLE. I'd bet big money is guy is/was a perv. Before letting any teens or young people read this please consider reading it yourself. (If you can.) I'm not a prude - by a long shot - but this is just weird. I wouldn't want my daughter reading it. Hell, I don't want me to have read what I did manage to get through.
