This is a very heart-wrenching story, and it has given the Whiskey Creek series a little boost for me to keep reading. Callie was a little too perfect many times, but she really highlighted the differences between "good" people and "not good" people. Levi comes to town running from his past and is a little stereotypical bad boy. But they work really well together. I could also check in see how some of the other members of the friend group were doing, which really made the town feel more alive and real.
