Summary:

Vince wants nothing to do with the "family vending machine business" but gets caught up in trying to help two losers who owe Vince's father money, while keeping the dating of Kendra secret from both sets of parents.

I would recommend this book!

Why?
This book is a fast paced and easy read. It is funny and its totally unbelievable mob life makes escape reading pleasureable because our lives couldn't get this crazy.
