This book was not shelved as YA in our library, but it ought to be. In this book two young men and a pair of twin sisters are figuring out who they are, discovering sex and relationships and other important stuff like how to navigate their first year of college life and how to fence stolen electronics. One of the young men meets the girls and when he needs money they hatch a plan to fake the kidnapping of one of the girls to get ransom money to help the young man. What could possibly go wrong? They are all idiots, but no more so than many college freshmen I've known, and the story is entertaining, if a bit predictable.
I'm going to go against one of my rules and review a book I haven't even finished. This book was so hideously bad that I couldn't finish it. It was poorly written with disgusting and obnoxious characters, and no amount of effort could make a person care whether these characters lived, died, or whatever it is they were doing in between. I couldn't care less.

Run away from this book, and run quite fast.
not bad-enjoyed the perspective of the criminal-but there is a reason identical twins have been on the list of non-nos for so long
At a New England college, a young man on a schoolarship and a set of beautiful twins develop an unusual relationship. OK 6/00
Just didn't like, read 1st 50 pages
Lots of interesting characters made this a great read.
