The Wake-Up Call

O'Leary is so great at characters, especially side characters. I loved Mr. Townsend, Poor Mandy, Jem, Grigg, Sameera, the Hedgerses, and of course I loved Izzy and Lucas too. Obviously, I knew going in that it was going to be a fade to black situation because that is Beth O'Leary's M.O., but man, I was PISSED that it was teased up so hard for multiple chapters and then wam...whatever the female equivalent to blue balls is. lol. I liked this one.
