Book Rating
3.75 stars.

I liked a lot of this book; the romance and friendship that Caymen had with Xander, Skye and the band and strangely the doll shop and it's shoppers. The thing that knocked it down a quarter star was their preconceived bad feelings toward the rich without their being an explanation for most of the book.

Nevertheless I still liked the book a lot. Xander and his family were so down to Earth and he grew on me so much throughout this book. I thought Caymen was a little stupid to try and resist him because he was pretty amazing.

I look forward to reading more books by the author in the future.

"It seems to me that one thing we should be trying to keep in mind these days is the phrase, “It could be worse.” This book shows us a much-worse time and its tragic effects on a group of tender friends/lovers/artists. We should energetically protect our system, and try to heal the toxic divisiveness afflicting us, and resist the lies being routinely promulgated, from above and on social media, because when a system fails, the victim is human decency – all these dear hearts suddenly living reduced, fearful, degrading lives. We have, as Paul Simon put it, “lived so well, so long” that we may be in danger of forgetting that the results of chaos are real."
