Helpful Score: 5

Through this novel we follow three main characters in three distinct stories. One is a man in search of his missing twin brother, another is a girl who has runaway with her high school history teacher, and the last is a young man who discovers his life has been a lie and sets out to reinvent himself. The interesting part of this novel is trying to figure out how these stories are connected. The stories are not necessarily told in chronological order and as the reader works their way through the chapters they discover clues. While trying to unravel this mystery was fun, the stories themselves were not necessarily compelling. I also felt that the ending was wrapped up just a bit too neatly. Suddenly, in the last chapter we switch to the point of view of a character we haven't heard from before and everything is laid out for us. It's too bad because I felt that this was the most interesting character in the book and hearing from him more often might have made for a much more interesting story. Over all this was an enjoyable read which I would recommend, but there is definitely room for improvement in this author's writing.
