To be honest, I didn’t like the book in the beginning. I felt as if I needed a cheat sheet to keep the characters straight in my head. Normally at this point, I stop reading. (I’m glad I didn’t.) This was a book club selection and I was determined to finish the book before the meeting. By the time I completed the book I was smiling.

The main characters, Ajay and Autumn were well developed. One mark of a good book for me is that the main characters change. A positive change is best, but I want to see growth and change in the characters. Ms. Green accomplished that with both characters. They weren’t bad or negative, but each had some baggage. Some of the baggage remained, but as a reader, it was of no consequence because I could see them working through their issues.

There were two points in the book that I thought were foreshadowing clues (yes I’m a retired Communication Arts teacher) and was disappointed that they weren’t. ( )
