Wow, this book really was crap. No fake attempted rapes. No Liz crying. Does nothing to dispel the stereotype that American teens know nothing about the world at large ;-)
Thanks for the reminder of how shoddy this novel was, and have a lovely day! :-)

... I guess that's not really 'love', though, more' angst'.
But yeah. He was cool. And kind of more... normal than his batty sisters.
