The main theme of this book seemed to be “life is hard, and then you die” with little hope, redemption, depth of character and true story line. The synopsis sounded interesting and I was looking forward to the Northern California setting, but unfortunately the execution fell flat for me. I did not like the characters and was constantly annoyed by their choices, decisions and conversations. There was a whininess portrayed in the audiobook that drove me crazy. There was also a discouraging lack of development in both characters and plot. Many of the situations felt sloppily thrown together, missing an important cohesiveness and overall resolve. The ending just added to my annoyance at the entire book.
