Review: Liked the story but not the guy...
Rating: 4 out of 5

I went back and forth between three and four stars for this book... I like ZAM'S writing, and I liked the basic story, but damn.... Gavin is horrible, and emotionally and verbally abuses Ringo. I know I'm supposed to get past his trust and anger issues, and see the good man inside, but I couldn't do it. Even at the end, I was still hoping Ringo would tell him to f*** off and walk away. Ringo did not deserve the abuse Gavin heaped on him, and Gavin did not deserve the patient, loving care Ringo lavished on him.I liked the missing dog story line, I liked Ringo's family, I liked the fellow workers at the campground, but I couldn't get past Gavin.I didn't hate it by any means, I can like a story and not like a character, which h is what happened here. I liked the story, the writing, and the author, just not Gavin.
