How does it take "a few steps" to close the gap between two people when one of the has his hands on the other's shoulders? A step. Two?

I dislike books that withhold "the terrible thing." I'm clearly in the minority, because I have read two very popular books before this that held off revealing "the terrible thing" until near the end. By the time I find out what "the terrible thing" is, I just don't care. It's awful, sure, but the withholding of the information is a cheap way to maintain tension.

Still waiting.

So far, foolish people making stupid choices. All of them. Holding out on the secret "accident"? That's a cheat. A reviewer revealed that it wasn't till the last third that she felt any connection to the story. I'll keep reading and hope for the best.

How many remember why they distrust GMOs? Monsanto developed a dangerous pesticide and then modified crop seeds that could survive in that poisoned soil. That's corn.

"Also, super loaded was Jordan at the party." Is this meant to be voice? In that case, my husband insists there should be a "dude" in there someplace.

So far, an interesting scenario, but issues, even so. One incoherent sentence [I read it several times, read it aloud, showed it to my husband—nope] and a couple typos that should have been corrected.
