The Windfall App by Teresa Richards
☆☆☆☆Young Adult — Contemporary
This was a pleasant surprise! I’m not normally a fan of contemporaries, but this one kept me eager to find out what happened next the whole time. The main character is likable and not a bubbly moron. She’s also a pianist (as am I, but not as good) and lives in San Francisco, which is near my hometown.
Marina has a real family, and she actually loves them even if they have conflicts. While she is inexperienced in life, she’s not an idiot. The other characters were also real people. There were a couple of mysteries that kept me intrigued, and the climax and ending were satisfying in their storytelling.
Editing is pretty good; better than many other novels. My only real complaint is that a San Franciscan would never ever ever call cable cars “trolleys.”
Clean content – no swearing, no sexual content, mild violence
I received a free copy of this book. I had the option of reviewing.
