I won this book from Smashbomb and was looking forward to reading it, but reviews I've read were lackluster so I wasn't expecting much. The author is a preschool teacher and I have found that teachers, whether preschool, college, or anywhere in between don't make the best authors. They tend to find themselves too clever and make bad decisions with their plotlines. This book was pure drudgery and I had to force myself to keep reading it, hating every moment of it. I finally decided that life is too short to read books I'm not enjoying and gave myself permission to stop reading and throw the book in the trash. It's that bad. I could not in good faith pass this book on to someone else. It's just awful.
