I received this book free to read and review.At the beginning this story is almost too realistic with the current economic situation there must be many people just managing to survive on their income. The two main characters in this story Devon and his wife Jenna would have been OK if Devon's expected promotion and bonus had come good but when it didn't their debts spiraled out of control while trying to keep up appearances. Up to this point about 30% on the Kindle scale it would have been a 5* book, in my opinion, the characters are well described and you can feel for them both having their own point of view that does not quite align. One of the strengths of this novel is that the author has not introduced a large cast and although the plot is quite straight forward it is a descriptive work which works well.  I would have enjoyed the book more if this theme had continued but without giving the plot away the rest of the book just does not seem as plausible however still a good read which explores a topical theme which develops perhaps to the extremes that people do not usually go to try and cope with debt.
