Book Suffers From An Identity Crisis
An unexpected message from her estranged best friend, Daniela Garcia, brings Cadie Kessler, now a forestry researcher focused on the causes and consequences related to climate issues, back to her childhood home. Cadie and Daniela are forced to face a dark secret that abruptly ended both their friendship and a wonderful summer. Will Cadie have to choose between saving the world and helping right a wrong of the past?
The biggest issue that I had with this book was that it suffered from an identity crisis. The beginning of the novel gave a descriptive look at the mountains and one of the consequences of climate change, leading the reader down a path that abruptly changed just a few paragraphs later. The timely issue that runs like a thread throughout deserved more of a prominent place in the plot. As the novel digressed into a thinly veiled mystery about secrets of the past, I was disappointed in the progression of the plot. I really wanted to like this novel, but it is not one that I would recommend to other readers.
