I would have to say that I did enjoy the book, but i have to agree with everyone that it was a little too long and some of the description could have been cut out. I think this book shows that no matter how perfect a family may seem anything can happen to destroy it. I think that Corinne could have done more than she did to help Marianne. I disagree with how Michael Sr. treated his daughter after she was raped. I fully support what Patrick did to Zachary Lundt so that he could learn his lesson and hopefully stop his destructive and horrible behavior. Marianne finally getting her life together and finding happiness despite all that happened to her is the best part of the book besides the incident with Zachary Lundt.
