So I read the first chapter of this and had to put it aside. It's funny the things that can make or break a book. In this case? The story takes placed in Albuquerque and the MC described the June night as "freezing" and "icy". I thought maybe it was 11 year old exageration. But then the other 11 year old concurred. Huh I thought. Maybe they don't actually live IN Albuquerque but in the mountains outside. I still wouldn't use the word icy but it would be more understandable. But nope. She mentions the Cottonwood trees so they're near the river. Then a fire was lit. Something the adults do regularly around the place in summer. Because of the cold. And I lost all faith in and trust in the author. June is the hottest month of the year in Albuquerque. And yes, visitors are sometimes amazed by how much cooler it is at night than during the day. Occasionally we would open our windows at night during June to let in a cool breeze. Most nights they were shut because the air was on. It was June. And hot.
