  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

I liked the story overall, but the one thing that felt off was the parallel timelines. It felt like Miley’s captivity was much longer than Brent and Wes’s search, and their search felt somewhat unrealistic because of it. The idea that they’d been hiking her trail for a month with next to no supplies was just hard to believe, and Brent’s chapters always had me wanting to shake him through the pages because he had no real plan and was setting them up for what eventually happened. As a whole though the story was fast-paced and I liked the writing, so I’m definitely interested in reading more from this author!
