This book started off so exciting but I feel like it fell flat. I couldn't stand the wife's character from the beginning to the end. The son is supposed to be in 8th grade but is written like an 8 year old. And the way the story developed felt so unrealistic in areas I think were supposed to feel relatable. The story telling was okay.  I had to see it through and was curious about what would come next but would not read again.
