Quick Review:

What I liked:
The story was very recent and very real. Esther Larsen was a well-developed character who despite her losses chose to get up and keep going.
Craig’s daughters were awesome and well developed. I loved them and wished there was more of them in the story.
It was based on the post-2008 recession and very technical. However, through the character’s dialog, you are quickly caught up with what’s going on.
What I didn’t like:
Bunn starts off with Esther as a very closed off character. Yet soon after she meets Craig, a relationship is started and trust is freely given. It just seemed a bit… off to me.
It took me a little bit to get into it. However, once we got past the beginning learning of the terms and the way things worked, the plot moved along pretty good. 😀
Who I would recommend this to:
People who are interested in reading something very different.
