There are so many storylines in this
book, I couldn’t get emotionally attached to any of them. Some were unnecessary
to the story (Danny being gay) and some took away from what I felt was the “true”
story (Danny’s parents’ secret). I don’t generally have a problem with multiple
plots, but in this particular novel, I wanted to feel more from the characters
and the issues they were dealing with at the time. The story wasn’t complex or
hard to follow; I was wanting more on each storyline to really feel it.
