My review for Deliver Her:
This is very much a family drama/coming of age type story that went kind of slow for me until about halfway through the book. Once the big crisis occurs, and the main character, Alex is lost in the wilds of New Hampshire, then the story picked up and ran to a decent conclusion.
The primary characters are well-written, and the teenager vs parent drama was realistic, but some of the secondary characters were kind of flat-- if the author didn't write their POV at some time during the story, then their characterization for the most part were lacking (the shining exception is the dead Cassie, who is pretty much a main character despite her being dead during the whole book). All in all, a worthwhile read for teens and parents of teens; as long as you can get through the long setup.
