I liked this story. It was well written, and the world building didn’t need to be exhaustive to be able to picture a small country town in the middle of an arid landscape. However, the characters did frustrate me at times, especially Jess and her mini meltdowns and the way she just couldn’t keep her mouth shut to save herself. Grampa and his old mates are more than a little crude and sexist, yet for the most part they do come off as harmless old farts hanging who mouth off as a way to hold onto their reputations (and egos) of yesteryear. Sophy, on the other hand is a great antagonist. She’s driven, cunning, and looks like an old Vegas showgirl who has nothing but cotton candy between her ears. Cross her at your own peril.
Mac’s role is to be the love interest and foil for our MC. He’s okay, but I didn’t find him as engaging as Claire did. And speaking of Claire, I liked her relationship with her grandfather and the other old boys, but at times her need to stick her nose into things was frustrating. Yet, I did enjoy reading about her adventures. The treasure hunt aspect was interesting, and the race to come up with the money to save Ruby’s also helped ramp up the tension between the characters.
