We Can Never Go Home Volume 1 by Matthew Rosenberg, Patrick Kindlon

3.0

Very mixed feelings about this one. It kept me engaged but I'm not really sure what it has to say. The character beats rang true more often than not, but there were moments that felt off, like the writing was a little amateurish. I give it credit for doing something different, and for writing a romance (of sorts) that subverts your expectations. In general I thought Maddie was a great character, and there were a number of other really interesting characters and ideas, but I'm not sure any of it lived up to its potential. Three stars for a complicated female protagonist who doesn't need to be rescued, and because even if the book wasn't perfect, I didn't feel like I wasted my time. Not sure I'll keep reading, however.
