Sounds like its going to be, or already is very interesting. Money is a huge problem in America at the moment anyway. I wonder if Tina and her boss will have a further relationship besides boss and employee.
You spelled 'lose' wrong in the last sentence. Anyway, i too wonder if they will have a further relationship. This makes me ponder. Hmmm.
It has gotten a lot better since I wrote this post. It goes by really fast, and come to find out she has a really bad relationship with her father. I don't know for sure the real reason is, but it is getting interesting!! I did ponder on whether they would have a further relationship, but her boss is married.
wow!I understand now the title of this book.. I hope you will tell me if i am wrong, but I guess it is supposed to make you realize money is not the center of life, but love is. And family links are the strongest links ever.. Of course, money contributes to your happiness, and even if you don't want to base your life on it, you still need it to move forward.. But anyway! It seems to be a very interesting book, i am going to read your newer post right now, i am very interested! =D
By reading the review of the book, it makes me want to find out more and see everything from my perspective.
I want to be able to learn more about the relationship between the mother and daughter and what will come out of it and how it will effect the plot later on.
