Very easy to figure out who Everlee’s father is - and I never figure things out in books! 
The story was just absolutely ridiculous - dropping a child off without any explanation and changing her name. The Donovan bit in the story was not wrapped up well - way too abrupt. 
So many of the characters were just completely irrational. I couldn’t stand Liz the entirety of the book either. Ethan was the only character with somewhat redeeming qualities.
