3.0

It felt like all the interesting parts of this book happened in the last 50 pages of the book, which meant the rest of the book was just people making frustrating choices and creating drama. I appreciated that this story wrapped up everything pretty well, but it felt like everything had a very simple solution, regardless of how complicated they were. I thought the hurricane was interesting enough that it deserved to be the actual focus of the book, rather than the event that ended it - it was much more interesting than endless personal drama.
