I received this book as a prize in a giveaway.  I have had a few of this author's books on my TBR, but I haven't read anything by Sorensen until this book-- I have to say, for all the hype, I was terribly disappointing with the character development, story, and the plot. Coincidences, alcoholism, theft, drug dealing, terrible decision-making (yeah, I get the whole trauma thing, but this was out of the realm of probability). Ending? There wasn't one- book has a traumatic exposure, another set of crazy choices that make no sense, and a cliff that I don't care to hang over as I await the next book. I finished the book, hoping for the best, but I had figured out the 'big secret' halfway through the book, and I think the character choices were unrealistic, even for being broken individuals. Ending seemed like a cop-out. Oh, and should I mention the last 10% of the book is advertising for other books and authors? Sheesh- TEN percent? Really?
