Not a very good book but sometime in my life - I bought it, so - I finally read it. If I were a thirteen year old boy - I would think that this was a great book. Lonely boy that will be an accountant like his dad, has his wild moment of love with an eighteen yr old that he wants to save/marry. Predictable - she sells him out so that he can go back to his family but sends the money back to his dad to show that she truly loved him... Tear ebbing out of my left eye.
