I think it is just okey so long as they don't carry the same last name because if they do, it would cause a lot of legal problems on their part.CasualBookReader wrote: ↑10 Oct 2018, 14:27 Although Tasha is Billy's step sister, and they aren't related any other way, I still thought their sexual relationship to be offensive. What did you think?

Seems like the parents are to blame. Misguidance to their children has ill effects.somersas13 wrote: ↑03 Nov 2018, 11:39 I didn't really think of it as incestous (inappropriate from the outset, absolutely). They aren't blood related and weren't really raised together for very many years so I don't think they ever really thought of each other as real sisters and brothers, but more like forced roommates. Still, it wasn't appropriate the way Tasha seduced Billie and he should've said no. It would've been different had they fallen in love from afar and then their relationship became physical, but because it became physical first and then they fell in love it somehow felt wrong. Then Tasha becomes pregnant and Hiram and Tasha's mother don't want Billie and Tasha together. Rather than fight it, Billie seems to shrug his shoulders and move on. But he's fathered a child with her and puts in zero effort to try to support them or be in the child's life until Sophie sets it up for him later in the book. Also, Billie seemed to have boundary issues in general, since he also fell in love with the young girl who was hired as help when they were living abroad. It was pointed out that she was very young and had opportunities ahead of her. Yet had she not stopped coming to their home, I think Billie had planned to pursue her. Billie is much like Hiram in that he doesn't seem to think of anyone but himself. Unlike, Hiram, he was not very ambitious or driven which is why he carves drumsticks instead of becoming an actual musician himself. Billie's life is more a life of convenience, rather than making what he wants in life happen.
