haha, you say 'dont suggest any vampire books,' then that kiki girl says twilight,. wow.
im not sure this is clearly what your looking for but it's a pretty good book i think you should check it out.
i recently read 'ordinary people' by judith guest.
it also has a movie out too.
i think they are both very good,
it's a very dramatic story, but i like it, it's probably one of the best books i've ever read.
its about a family, of a mother, a father and two sons.
one son was killed in a boating accident before the novel.
conrad, the other son, blames himself, and tries to commit suicide by slashing his wrists. his father finds him though, and he lives.
but while he was in the hospital, his mother barely visited him.
this was actually not in the book, but the reminisce it alot.
the rest you have to read to find out ;]
its alot better of a book
then it may sound. :]
