I am not even sure how to rate this book.  The first 10% dragged and the material was redundant.I was aggravated with every character at some point in the book.  I can't believe how the guys kept Cassa's secrets even though they knew how much Shame loved her and was heart broken, especially Mike!! I became so turned off by Cassa and couldn't stand to listen to her sob story any longer, right along with Roni.  What Cassa went through with Cory was horrible but having her laugh which would provoke him??? Not liking that. And the boat??? That was out of left field! Wouldn't something like that make the news?? And she forgot about it?!? If you were in fear of your families lives, wouldn't you try to do something??? And there is no way he would have been up for parole in two years. Then released?? And not come for her?? Instead of taking 80% of the book to detail over and over their issues, why not expand the plot to include Cory. And taking 80% to get where we did was exhausting!!!!  And I didn't find it believable that she was such a string person, but not go track Shame down to find out what was going on!!Now the last 10% was really good because we got to read something other then Cassa's issues.There is a fine line between too much drama and not enough along with not being redundant.  There has to be a balance to make the read enjoyable. That was the big issue for me.  Too much !!And I have to mention something about the lack of editing. I understand the reason the editing was pushed back and book released with a low price; however, there are major issues with punctuation that could have been resolved without an editor. I'm not critiquing how the story was told, I too write like I speak. But there were edits that could have been made without an official editor.  At times these punctuation issues messed with the dialogue.
