This appears to be a prequel for a series Tyree is preparing, and it reads like it. Tyree's work is usually more engaging. When this book finished, I expected another three to four hundred pages. It does set up for what could be a decent book, but unfortunately that preparation is clumsy.

I really don't have any true commentary about the book. It kept me wanting to read more, however, the ending left me unraveled. It's like it just ended without any true clarity about the main character.

It is not a page turner
The way the mother and the best friend's death so early in the book killed it for me. Nothing after that mattered. The storyline sucked.
