Overall I'm not entirely sure where I stand with this one. I enjoyed my time reading it for the most part, and Hendrix's writing style is fairly easily accessible. I guess this book just wasn't for me, in the end? It wasn't bad at all, but I couldn't really connect with or bring myself to care about any of the characters by the time we got to the eleventh hour, and it's one I think I am okay with never reading again. I'll likely be selling my copy to a used bookstore.
