Tina has returned to see 56, her one true love, who may have ruined her for any normal healthy relationship. Love hurts, love hurts, love hurts playing on a loop in her love-sick mind. Really, you can pick any woman, search her heart’s timeline and for most, there is a relationship where she likely succumbed to self-destruction for one partner. This love, of her re-telling, descends into serious abuse, which got me to thinking about teenage girls in general and unhealthy love. If her theory about love, ‘that you can only have- really, truly- one love of your life”, then it comes early and leads her back to Number 56, for her. Tina Ross is returning home to Ohio, her mind on love. Of all the stories, the last hit me between the eyes. The author takes you into the dark recesses of his lost characters.
This town is like many others, falling into hard times, gritty, poverty striken, drug riddled, and it’s people as worn down and burned out on life or drugs. The character developement in this book is fantastic, because they are all heavy with some sort of sorrow. You passed your time in the cage, he figured, by clinging pointlessly and desperately to an endless series of unfinished sorrows.
