24 Hours in Nowhere, by Dusti Bowling

24 hours in Nowhere, Arizona...sums this up in a nutshell! I was so excited to read this second book by author Dusti Bowling, since her first book, Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus was really good! Super good, actually! In her second, sophomore effort, she fell down just a little bit. She is still really good about developing her characters, and her storyline is decent...but in this book, the storyline was just missing something. I think it was the first pages where she introduced the main characters where she fell a bit short. The original scenario of one person saving another from being bullied set the whole stage for the rest of the book. But her characters were really forced together and the situation she created isn't uncommon in teen/YA books, but it just felt...forced. So, 3 paws for this one - but I encourage you to read her first book, which is super good!
