The Hopefuls by Jennifer Close
1.0

I was hopeful this book would be as enjoyable as the reviews stated but once again I was led astray. When will I ever learn?!
Finally on page 273 the "plot" of the book was unveiled. It was not worth the wait.
I have utmost respect for anyone who can write a book and get it published so my hat is off to Ms. Close. However, in fiction, I expect a plot. A story. This had neither. If Matt was having a mid-life crisis, that is the mildest and most benign "crisis" imaginable. May we all be so fortunate.
