VERY disappointing summer beach ! It surely had possibilities, but as the end drew close I wondered how this would wrap up in the few remaining pages. The ending was very anti- climactic and vacant. What story line there was fell apart in the end. I felt robbed of an ending and any explanation of why she was in the hospital and why the boyfriend was looking for her was lacking. Mitchel changed into a nice guy with no real transition. If you like a story about a boy and a dog there is plenty of that. Jackson was a sweet kid but even his character didn't evolve. I am a teacher and my 5th graders can present stories with greater flow, purpose, and conclusion. There is No Way Out to make this review or book better!
