This book got so confusing. Almost like Ms. Ware wrote herself into a corner, and then had to get really creative to make everything kind of work out. Also, I feel like the whole plot point about Hal owing a bunch of money to the creepy guy was just not really resolved? Truly, it's my own fault for continuing to read books that I'm not really into haha
