This is another first person book that seems to be
the beginning of a series as that seems to be where the story is left off at.
The story starts out with our main character Gemma,
recently graduating from high school as she meets up with her estranged dad
(Garrett) that she hasn’t seen in 18 years. And suddenly, he just walks back
into her life and asks/practically begs her to live with him in Texas. She
agrees, wanting to closer to her father after being not having him in her life
for nearly two decades. She doesn't realize just how much her life is going to
change.
From the very beginning, it is obvious to the reader
that there is something odd about Garrett but the reader just can't figure it
out. Throughout the storyline, it becomes obvious just how different Garrett
and his friends are.
What intrigues me about this book is that each
chapter has been written in first person but with different characters. There
are three characters that the author switches back and forth with throughout
the entire book; Gemma, Garrett and Weston (a friend of Garrett's). The story
isn't fast paced at all and at sometimes can feel like it is moving at a
snail's pace but it is very well written. The transitions of the different
character's point of view are well-written and works for the type to plot that
this book has.
At this time I am unsure if I will continue on with
this series. I may re-read it to see if it can grab more of my attention but
until then, I am unsure.
