Ida Overdorff is twenty-four and from a broken family in upstate New York. She comes to Florida to sell a property she bought at nineteen – sight unseen. It’s the only thing of value Ida owns. She doesn’t have much going for her but a dream of being a baker and an invitation to move in with a friend in NYC. It’s not giving anything away to tell that she’s bought in a failed development and isn’t going to see any money for a while. Ida ends up camping out in a half-finished home where her story intersects with several others. Peter, heir to a fortune he’s trying to reject. Carter and Donnie, two abandoned boys who have a bit in common with Ida. Ryan and Lloyd, a gay couple. At times you can feel the story searching for a plot. The writing is memorable, but sometimes too detailed. The ending is satisfying in its refusal to wrap things up too neatly, which makes the book ultimately satisfying. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

I still enjoyed this novel, but it just felt too unfinished to rate more than 3.5 stars on the goodreads scale. Since this site doesn't do half-stars, and the writing style was ok, I rounded up, so this book gets 4 stars on goodreads from me. ( )
