Why this book name is based on Tessa??? I didn't find anything different about her besides she helped everyone in need. Which other characters were also doing. Moreover, like Tessa and Jared characters Julie and Steve story was also described in details with same intimacy. Lots of subplots were given which were not required. The robbery and killing problems were mentioned but it was solved in the ending with fast paced although all the clues were given in the beginning about the gang. I didn't like how the problem was solved.
