Sylvia always hated her average looks and her strict mother. She just wanted to enjoy her teenage years and hang with her friends, and did what she had to do to get boys' attention. The only thing she liked about high school was getting to see her crush, Dub, the twin brother of not-so-nice Deuce.
When her sneaking out and defying her mother's rules results in her winding up pregnant at fifteen, she learns who her real friends are. And with her mother never missing a chance to remind her how she's messed up her life, Sylvia vows that she would be the total opposite of her mother, and her child will grow up to the best friend she apparently didn't have.
But years later, when her daughter Candy is fifteen and has no interest in being her friend, Sylvia just tries harder to force the kind of mother-daughter relationship she always wished she'd had herself. She ignores the constant advice that she needs to be her children's mother, not their friend. Candy is turning out to be just like Sylvia was, and when Sylvia's son Valencio starts behaving less like her golden child and more like another problem child, Sylvia slowly starts to realize that she had gone about everything all wrong. All the while, Sylvia still has her crush on Dub, is still being mistreated by Deuce, ignores her son's father Bryce, and battles the growing realization that she just hasn't done much with her life, and her daughter is following right in her footsteps. But when she tries to start laying down the law, things only get worse, and Sylvia realizes she really does need to make some major changes with herself. But is it too late?
**CW: This book contains scenes of attempted kidnapping, drugs, and teenage sex.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
