A review by mflake
Change on the Fly by Maren Moore

Did not finish book. Stopped at 34%.

Not invested in a single character, is read by my least favorite male narrator, and some of the basic plot assumptions about life with and care of a 3 year old was so off base it felt like the writer didn’t  put any effort into understanding that major aspect of the plot… had so many jumps in logic I didn’t believe it anymore- such as, the girl suggested the kid watches cartoons at midnight and that makes her “so good with him, you have to come take care of home on the road” ???? Her father’s “dementia” acts like Alzheimer’s but she can leave for months with home nursing to fill in but can’t afford a furnace??? So This book has several of my favorite tropes but I was disappointed at every turn.
