Prom Mom by Laura Lippman

A girl gives birth in a hotel room during the prom.  Story of how this affects her life and that of the baby's father.

This book started okay.  The premise was fairly interesting and Ms. Lippman develops her characters.  Unfortunately, none of the characters are likable.  All the women love and protect this man who doesn't deserve it.  All of them are wrong in their opinion of him.

Then the ending takes a bizarre turn and wraps things up quickly without making much sense (to me).
