I'm from a small town, and there's still huge busts made every couple months. Amazing, in a slightly scary/shocking way. Good that the author keeps a balanced viewpoint - it's so easy to take a topic like this and get gung-ho enthusiastic about it, one way or another. In life, that can be good (most of the time :) ), but in fiction? Balance is good. Very good. And the fact there are consequences actually apparent in the story. Sounds like an interesting-ish read.

I couldn't stand Gwen and how selfish she was, though (in my opinion). I didn't get the feeling that she was sorry for what she did, only that she was sorry it caused consequences that hurt, and even killed, other people. She didn't seem to believe any of the consequences where really from her own actions, but just out of her control things that happened...sort of a "poor me, so many people could do the same thing and be fine". I didn't particularly like Jude as a person either, but he did have a little more of a dynamic personality that caused you to hate him one minute and sympathize with him the next. It is wonderfully written and I can't wait to see what else the author comes up with! I read this as an ARC from Goodreads and really enjoyed it!

Not sure I could empathize enough with her character to get drawn into Stash. Hm, I would have serious problems with Gwen.

Thanks for your review. This book sounds interesting and I agree with you that some of our decisions can have really far reaching consequences. Thanks for your review.
