General Description: A Mi'kmaq family in Nova Scotia makes their way down to Maine every summer to pick blueberries. However, one summer, Ruthie, the youngest of the family, goes missing. Joe, the second youngest, was the last one to see her alive. Where is Ruthie? How will this impact Joe?
The not bad?
- You get a resolution at the end.
- There are are no lingering questions.
The Loss of 3 stars:
- If I gave you more of those description, the entire book will be spoiled for you. I did not enjoy anything int he book because I felt spoiled.
- The writing was long and windy, it jumped time a bunch and was not a cohesive book.
- I clearly missed the popular mark, but this character driven story was not executed in a way where i could care about any of the characters.
Overall, if you don't like character driven books, I would not recommend it. If you like character driven books, you will probably enjoy it more than I did.
