Good Lort. I am finally done with this book!!!!!!!
This is an actual picture of me for the last 2 months reading it.
That's right. Two months.
So you have Jodi who is just getting out of prison. She was convicted of manslaughter and has finally got the freedom call. She keeps thinking about some land she supposedly has in West Virginia..so she is going to head towards that.
(Do I sound bored?? WELL I AM..that's all this book is going to get)
But first...right after she is released from prison she is traveling through Georgia and a small town that happens to be real is named dropped. Then there is a bus station there? I know it's a little thing but the author using a real town and not even checking her facts just bugged me. Make up a dang town if you don't have the few minutes to Google.
Then she picks up a girlfriend and the girlfriends kids. Oh wait and her girlfriend that she was convicted of killing? She goes and gets her brother too.
Now we headed to West Virginia. You would think with this many characters that something would happen wouldn't you?????? IT FRIGGING DOES NOT!
Nothing happens. This whole stinking book has nothing happening. You think at times that something will...but then nope.
GOOD GRIEF to peanut butter!!!! I don't have much time to read so now when I do manage to finish a book it needs to be good.
I'm going back to my regularly scheduled programming...……
Because it's way more entertaining that this pile of paper!!
Booksource: I was given this book to read from the publisher. I hope they don't hate me.

Du jamais vu ! Un livre où ça bouge tout le temps, dans tous les sens, mais qu'en fait rien ne se passe.
Rien, rien, rien.
Et ne parlons pas des anachronismes et des faits erronés.

Was liking it until the white protagonist got all butt-hurt about her family losing their land.
