I enjoyed this story all the way until the very end. Without giving too much away here, I can say the mystery of Delta held grabbed my attention from the very beginning and held it. I expected to be giving this at least a 4 star review. However, the ending of this book felt so rushed and unfinished. Now, I don't believe a story has to be all tied up with a neat little bow, but this one really felt less like a cliffhanger and more like we're missing a huge piece of the story. I also struggled with the writing style in this book. I had to reread almost every section of dialogue because of the way its formatted. It always appear the opposite person is speaking. For example:

“Soooo.” Colleen laughed again.
“Sooooooooo.”
“So, what’s going on with you?” Colleen eyed him and
smiled.
“You know I’m going to Med school, right?” A hint of
embarrassment flushed his cheeks.
“Really? Shit, I had no idea.” Colleen continued to clean the
area.
This reads like Colleen is the first speaker, then Jason responds, etc. with Colleen ending the conversation. However, it's completely opposite. Jason is actually the first and last speaker in this conversation. It was really hard to read dialogue in this book. Overall, the story told in this book is imaginative and has a lot of potential, but the book as a whole leaves a lot to be desired.

Growth and Change Are Highly Overrated by Tom Starita
Story of Lucas James and his girl Jackie decides she's had enough of the marriage after many years together.
Hits Lucas hard as he doesn't have money for his dream-to write and sing a rock song and have it hit number one.
Real life comes forward. No income, no car, no food.
Stories go back to his college days with the band and when he was 9 years old with his brother and his friends.
Like advice and tips about how not to do things, that will get you in trouble. So funny at times and know many who've done similiar things back in the day.
Received this review copy from the author via LinkedIn and this is my honest opinion.

I'm giving this book five stars because I wrote it. Yes, that's right the author is giving his own book five stars. Shocking, I know.
