When I started this book I thought, "There is no way I can root for any of these characters, they are all just awful and financially irresponsible and they deserve what they get." But dang if the author didn't get me caring about ALL of them by the end. It's hard to sum up the plot, but some (very VERY) bad choices by one brother ends up pulling the financial rug out from all of his siblings, who'd been counting on an upcoming nest egg. The author changes perspective between all the adult siblings and other characters as they try to adapt and grow up and become better.

Note: Lots o' swearing and some teenage sexuality. I don't know if there was less swearing as the book went on or if I just stopped noticing.
