I read
this book hoping it would be a good YA campaign novel to Shotgun Lovesongs by Nickolas Butler for One Book One Community. Although
the story does take place in the Midwest and Zoe does community service at a
forest preserve, I don’t feel the premise was good. More importantly, this
story won’t entertain boys at all. The story itself was OK and teen girls may
enjoy it. I just didn’t get what I wanted out of it. However, my biggest issue
was that Zoe confesses to shoplifting and still receives the same punishment
she would have if she was caught rather then turn herself in. What does this
message send to the kids? Don’t bother confessing, the punishment is the same.
