Cute, quick, easy read. Not a lot of depth. Kind of silly that everything hinges on a sixteen year old girl. Lightly developed characters. Hale, especially I never quite felt that I got a grasp on except he was where he needed to be when he needed to be there. And yet, effectively diverting and entertaining for a few hours.
Another review said it’s a Disney tv movie type book and that’s exactly what it is. You sort of have to know that to suspend disbelief enough to go along with a sixteen year okd being the linchpin of everything. I mean, I read a lot of YA and still…it requires a significant suspension of disbelief. Perfect for that 12-14 crowd. Mildly amusing enough for anyone older.
