The Samaritan by Fred Venturini

1.0

I wanted to like this because the description sounded beautiful. But the characters fell flat (I still can't picture Mack or Raenna or any of the characters in my head) and the plot was so contrived, tackling "issues" (bullying, death of a friend, abusive relationships) but not addressing them in any way that was fresh or new or thereby truly heartfelt.
