Another good read from Hutchinson. Definitely not up to the level of Love Story Set in Space or We Are the Ants, but I think I feel the same way about this that I do about Elena Mendoza: glad I read it, but not sure I'd pick it up again soon. The message was pretty clear and well done, and the ending 30 or so pages had me very engaged. Honestly, I would've loved to see Finn turn a new leaf in the spring, maybe even cultivating a friendship with Virgil and his friends. Also would have loved to see Reba appear at the end again. Good read.
