I've got to admit, I wasn't blown away by this story. I wanted to love it (just look at that cover) but it never really grabbed me. Usually a book like this can be read in a day or two but I really struggled to finish it as I never connected to the main characters.
I thought Ethan was a bit wishy-washy and changed his mind frequently about how he felt about things. Maybe this was suppose to be growth in his character but he just never really clicked for me. I was especially incredulous of his reasoning behind not going to the police. If it had just involved him, maybe, but he had a young child at home so why would you take a chance. For the most part, I enjoyed Leah. Until the last bit of the book. I just don't see why she would go out with virtually a stranger when all her senses told her to be weary of him. Yes, she was trying to get over Ethan but I don't think a smart sensible person as she had been portrayed so far would act so out of character. I loved the setting for the book and passed my copy on to my Mom to read just to see if it was me and not the characters that I didn't connect with. I'll report back later on her take.
