[guessing at the star rating / mining my old FB notes now that they are almost impossible to find]

read for the mother/daughter bookclub, this was a kid's story stretching itself (too thin) to be a full-fledged novel. every plot point was excruciatingly drawn-out which might have been forgivable if wasn't so poorly written, and the conclusions so obvious. the characters are almost 30 years old now yet they are trapped in their teens/early 20's - shallow, insecure, irresponsible, and dead (that's an attribute for each of the four - so yes, one of them dies early on in this book) the ending has the survivors all living on the same piece of farmland that the dead girl bought specifically for them to share. so yes, an extended sleepover of sorts. in case i haven't made myself clear: i hated this book
