Let me give you a warning about this book. If you have pre-teen children you probably don't want to read it. It will give you nightmares! Elizabeth and her second husband, James, have been raising her kids. The oldest is Rosie. She is 17, bright and lying to her parents on a regular basis. She is involved with some less than desirable friends. She is sexually active. She is using a variety of drugs.
How to get Rosie to stop? They ground her. Things get better. Then they catch her in a lie. Then they ground her........and you the idea. The way she manipulates everyone around her is scary! After working with teens for over 30 years I am afraid that I found the book to be very realistic and could see it all happening. Anyway, the book is very well written but it isn't a very cheery book!
