it\u2019s clear I made a mistake coming back. This place didn\u2019t protect me then and I don\u2019t need to protect it now. Let FunTyme Inc. turn the whole village into a parking lot for all I care. I can almost smell the hot asphalt.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wow. <\/p>\n

I really didn’t care for Vince.<\/p>\n

At first I felt bad for him, because he had been bullied at school. But from what the story described it didn’t match the level of hostility he felt towards the town. <\/p>\n

And he’d made his name and his fortune in New York. So why would he even care?<\/p>\n

Except, of course, that he screwed that up by literally screwing a client.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Tack–the guy he’d crushed on in high school, has clearly changed–and for the better–and Vince is a dick to him for most of the book.<\/p>\n

And then when the Big Misunderstanding comes, Tack feels like he has to apologize to Vince? Seriously? <\/p>\n

I mean, the story opens with him being rude to a freaking bus driver for dog’s sake. It’s hard to have a lot of compassion for someone that stoops that low.<\/p>\n

That said, there were some positives in the book. Mostly Tack and his kid, Jules. The bits with Vince were just a little too toxic to be really enjoyable.<\/p>\n

Also, the cover really does not match the tone of the book. It’s not a bad cover, but Vince is fairly hostile and negative for so much of the story it feels kind of the opposite of the cover.<\/p>\n
