Review: Good, but....
Rating: 3 out of 5

THe author has potential...interesting characters, a decent plot, fun descriptions of places and neighborhoods...BUT....she seriously needs an editor  Too many places where it's clear she changed the wording, but forgot to delete the original words. Also, there were a few inconsistencies in some events.  There were some leaps made that didn't have clear origins.The short chapter where Denny went on his own to his parents was weird, told from his point of view, not hers, so it just felt out of place.  And she's only 22?  She comes across closer to thirty and being in a relationship with Denny at 22 seems unlikely to me.  I enjoyed the chapter with Fina taking Denny's mother to New Jersey.  The idea percolating in Fina's head at the end doesn't make too much sense, timeline-wise, as the person would have to be older than the other character, and throughout the book, he was identified as younger.  I may read another book about Fina in the future, as there was a lot to like, but much polishing needs to be done.  Perhaps a call to Lucy's Cleaning Service...?
