The more I think about this book, the less I like the entire thing.
The story was engaging and (mostly) fun up until the end, when you learn that the entire premise of the book was a lie Deuce put in motion to try to manipulate Cherilyn, which really kind of taints the whole thing for me.

I've never read a book that was blurbed in a completely misleading way like this one was. I exspected some cute, Stars - Hollowesque small town feel- good story. Instead I got the dark, devious, mean things people do to each other. Had I known I would not have picked up this book at a time when I really needed something cozy and comforting.

When a future-telling machine pops up in the grocery store, lives get flipped upside down. In a small Louisiana town, people start to dream big. By the end, they just might realize that who you could be doesn't determine who you are. (Kindle edition won in Goodreads giveaway.)
