PositiveCriminal ElementThis book was enjoyable, and the plot was lightning fast. However, the story was riddled with random complaints that threw me off completely. Though relatively young, the characters constantly griped about things you’d expect to hear from a grandparent at a holiday dinner. Within the first paragraph there was one that caused me to roll my eyes and brace myself ... However, the book also offered many reflections on life, growth and strength. Almost every character presented had something traumatic happen to them at one point or another, so these comments are welcome and, more importantly, they meshed well with the plot and narrative ... despite both of the characters being so caught up with the concept of growing and shedding old skin, you don’t see real change within them until the very end of the book ... Overall, I recommend this book for a fast, thrilling read!
