The premise drew me in. Jack's mom commits suicide, leaving him to take care of Matty. He has to be careful not to let anyone know she has committed suicide because he knows they will take Matty away. They have less than $20, no food, no heat. So Jack decides to try to find the money that his father stole that landed him in jail. Jack's dad's partner is not in jail but is on his tail, also wanting the money and not stopping at anything to get it.
here were moments, though, usually in dialogue, that I found unconvincing. I couldn't suspend my disbelief for portions of the book which made it hard to stay invested. The main characters, Jack and Ava, didn't help any as I didn't particularly like either of them. I thought they were bland, and the author tried way too hard with the romantic tension.
As for the story, it wasn't bad. It started off strong, but around halfway in I really started to lose interest. I had to force myself to finish it! It took me over a month to finish reading this.
It was just boring and left me unsatisfied! I really wanted to love this but I didn't care about the characters. It just didn't work for me. I found the book to be borning and drag on. Then I also felt that the ending was rushed so somehow it's this weird book that was boring and too slow but also rushed and sloppy. The ending was rushed and confusing!
