The whole setup seemed to lead towards a secret pedophile in the neighborhood that was moving towards a kidnapping. When it finally happened, it was so completely bizarre, and unbelievable that it didn't even seem like anyone was bothered - the only indication that anyone was bothered was by the description of the yellow ribbons around the neighborhood trees when the girl (who was basically a runaway) walked home.
The runaway young mother with the (not so) scary ex, yawn. Nothing happened. The man with a shovel mark splitting his face that stares at the young girl.
Even the cover was more interesting than the book... |
Oh yeah, every kid in this book was kind of repulsive. Even more so that the adults. That's kind of hard to do, right?
The author appears to have talent, but I think she had so many characters, she couldn't focus on any of them, and never seemed to find the story.
I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
