This is my second book written by Stacy Willingham.  As in the other, the story gets about 2/3 into the book and you’re sort of wondering… when will this pick up?  Should I carry on reading?  Thankfully right around that point, piece by piece, her style grabs you.. enrapts you… as like the layers of an onion, the final third of the book accelerates in pace and grabs pieced of the first two thirds making connections and opening up a “wow, I missed that” sort of feeling happen - almost in every chapter. I love her writing style.
