I liked the end of this book! Sebastian finally got what was coming to him. However, I almost wish he would have lived just so that he could suffer through the consequences of what he had done and what he finally couldn't get away with.
Ill be honest too, I had my suspicions with Waters. I wasn't sure 100% sure if he really was on Maureen's side or not. But in the end he did finally help her out. I know Waters was probably doing everything by the book, but Maureen couldn't just sit and wait for things to happen to her, I really liked that she became very pro active about her situation.
Throughout all of this she really showed her strong side and her independence, and she found out what she wanted to do with her life and who she wanted to be. How weird it is that she started out this book and this whole saga with her having a little too much coke and too much to drink, and it ended with her joining the force. Her character really made a 180. She always seemed to me to have a good heart just the wrong circumstances. And in her final circumstance (which was not a good one) she made it on her own (slightly). Her supporting characters did help her, but she was for the most part doing things her way.
I feel really bad for those that lost their lives during this book, but Maureen made it so that others would not. I really enjoyed this book. What did you guys think.

Through Chapter 21
Well obviously a lot has happened ... since we are 3/4 of the way done with this book.
The book is really good. I disagree with mom, I liked Maureen from the get go. She was just doing what she had to do to live (not talking about the drug use right now...). It sounds like she didn't have a really strong home life, and didn't get a lot of support (moneywise) for her education. So she was trying to make ends meet with her job, and it paid pretty decent, but she wasn't able to function in class and work... so slowly but surely she dropped a class at a time, until she wasn't taking any.... she always seems to have high aspirations about starting a new and a fresh... but things just keep happening.
Poor girl just picked the wrong night to find her coke.... Just imagine if she hadn't been called in to work that night (because remember she wasn't supposed to work that night) if she hadn't done the coke, if she hadn't drank so much she wouldn't have been in the predicament that she now finds herself in.
Sebastian is a bad dude, and we learn FINALLY through chapter 21 he has ALWAYS been a bad dude. I am inspired by Maureen and her will power. She is not submissive, and she will not take back down. I can not believe that throughout all these years and all the bad stuff that Sebastian has done that we know about, and you know there is bad stuff that we do not know about. And of course now that he is running for office it still hasn't come out... but you know it will, and I can't wait for that to happen... Too bad at least 4 people had to die though, and I wonder if there is more to come.
I am not really sure where exactly Molly and John fit into all of this except for just being their for Maureen. But I have a bad feeling that they are going to get more involved then they would like....
So tell me your input.
PS We will finish the book for discussion on Sunday
