Lots of descriptive mushing and smashing but that is how I would be if those damn things swung out of trees landing on me. Can you imagine wading through those little bastards? Ugh! <br /><br />I found the Ballroom to be interesting. Especially the vandalism part. So gritty. She did tackle quite a bit like you said. I agree. I wanted to know a little more about Maddie and her dad. Why was he such an ass? Why was her mom such a mess? <br /><br />Have you read Fierro's first novel? That one too was very dark and gritty but I loved it because that is how motherhood is sometimes. Not all baby powder scented babies and smiles.

I don't know; this book doesn't sound like my cup of tea either.
