** spoiler alert ** 
 I really, really liked this book. **SPOILER ALERT** I was really hoping that Smith wouldn't go there with the Joey situation, and it completely changed the tone of the book for me. I loved 98% of the book, and then felt like all the build up came to a crashing halt and then it ended with everyone depressed and hurting. I understand why he wrote it that way, but I wished that he hadn't. Or at least given us more to work with at the end so we could process along with the characters. Overall, great read.
