Wow. This was a tough one. I really liked the idea behind this story and I really wanted to have an emotional connection with it. However, Colin and Sam drove me insane. I couldn't figure out who I disliked more - Sam, for his completely obnoxious, rude, hideous behavior, or Colin, for putting up with it and his continious inability to follow through with anything. I realize Sam had reasons that somewhat explained his behavior, it was one of the things that drew me to this story in the first place, but he was worse than the worst spoiled brat, only he is a adult! Back to Colin. If he threatened to spank Sam to discipline him for his inexcusable antics one more time, only to end up giggling at him, I thought I would scream.
The poor friends suffered at the mouth of Sam throughout this book. I couldn't believe they stuck around to deal with Sam and Colin for as long as they did.
I kept waiting for Sam and Colin to work through Sam's issues, but even at the end, I didnt feel like they resolved much.
