When Vance Lake—broke, jobless, and recently dumped—takes refuge with twin brother Craig back home on Cape Cod, he unwittingly finds himself smack in the middle of a crisis that would test the bonds of even the most cohesive family, let alone the Lakes. Craig is strangely mournful and angry at equal turns. His exasperated wife, Gina, is on the brink of an affair. At the center of it all is seventeen-year-old Amanda: adored niece, rebellious daughter, and stubborn stepdaughter. She’s also pregnant.
I am glad I finished this book as I wanted to find out what happened in the end. However I can't agree with most of the reviews. Didn't care for it at all. The characters had too many issues, they really didn't connect with one another, they are not very deep or sympathetic. Told from too many points of views. The adults barely acknowledged poor little hannah....and the ending really didn't pull anything together. You are still left wondering what happens to everyone.
