Shannon’s Thoughts:
Theodore “Mead” is smart. So smart he has been pushed through school younger than most. His mother overbearing and his father keeps to his funeral business. The only family member that treats him normal is his cousin Percy. Mead starts college away from all his family. Just as he is about to graduate Mead breaks from the pressure of everything, his school, his future, friendships, and mysterious past.
I am not usually into dramatic contemporary books but I did like this one. In some ways, I related to Mead’s breakdown. He is learning who his without others telling him who they want him to be. I like the back and forth through time. It kept me interested in the story and made the mystery all the more mysterious.

The ending was not horrible but not great either. It was an ending I did not see coming. A lot of the book I could not predict and that usually makes for a good book.
I thought for the first book from an author the book was well written and kept my attention. I am curious about her next book if there is one.
