"The little sister is insufferable "

"3.5 rounded up<br/><br/>Frankie Barrera has always been protective of her little sister Izzy. She goes to great lengths to protect her and bail her out of difficult situations, including 5 years ago after an accident Izzy doesn't remember after too much imbibing in a night of partying. When Frankie is confronted by police after her truck is reportedly involved in a kidnapping, Frankie starts looking into the case to see how she can once again protect her sister.<br/><br/>I really enjoyed Chavez's debut novel, but I feel like she may have been bitten by the sophomore slump with this novel. The book is still good, but not as enjoyable as her debut. The pacing felt like it was dragging for quite a bit of the book. Once things picked up though, it really took off. I also felt like Frankie made choices that no rational person would make. The ending was a total surprise, but I felt like there were no clues at all that that character was the guilty party. It just came out of nowhere in my opinion. I'm still looking forward to her next book though. <br/><br/>My thanks to William Morrow, Custom House. Heather Chavez, and NetGalley for gifting me a digital copy of this book. My opinions are my own."
