Until that day that his world was thrown into a tailspin, when he was struck by a passing car and handicapped as Susannah suddenly disappeared. Perfect" Ryan Morgan, secret admirer to Ryan's long-time girlfriend Susannah, and on the outside appeared like any normal young man. He was the best friend and faithful sidekick to "Mr. Jeremy, having suffered through the pain of his mother's battle with her sanity only to lose her in a tragic car accident, turned to alcohol and his favorite pass time of running to get by. But I feel that what the reader does get, which is a dynamic, disturbing, and very well-written plot with a multitude of unexpected twists, is what carries this story and makes it engrossing by its own merit, well-deserving of a 4-star rating. The fairly vicious and self-important attitude that many of the main characters have is hard to get comfortable with, and I struggled with my feelings on each of them. If you're looking for a character-driven story with a hero that makes you wish more than anything that he could have his happy ending, look elsewhere. If I were to rate this book solely on whether or not I liked the characters in it, I'd give it around 2 stars. Reasonable Jeremy is happy in his role as human doormat and Enabler-in-Chief.
