I liked this book. It wasn’t what I expected from the description. I didn’t find it as dark as it sounded. I found it to be a reflection on how small, seemingly insignificant actions or inaction can set the path for more than just one life.It all revolves around Alex’s high school date with Kay. It’s his first taste of love and the memory will stay will him forever. Unfortunately, mysterious circumstances cut this love affair short and Alex moves on to college and other women to fill the void.Intrigue follows Alex when he starts researching a new energy project with his best friend Zach. Personal connections become suspect when paranoia sets in and they don’t know whom to trust.The book covers many of the social issues of the 1950s with warmth and truth. Things have definitely changed and it was good to get that perspective. There’s an innocence and familial comfort that is refreshing.
