The Believing Game

Anguished and angsted Greer Cannon is smart — smarter than she let herself take credit for.  Though she learned to use her body for the wrong purposes and found shoplifting to be addictive, which landed her at the McCracken Hill rehabilitation school for teens, Greer knows when to talk and when to just keep chill.  This is why Addison is so attracted to her.  Addison’s violent behavior topped with alcoholism are in the shadows behind his great looks and qwirky personality — a personality that is too often swayed by Joshua Stern, Addison’s Narcotics Anonymous sponsor. Thus the battle of the minds, and hearts, begins.  Readers may start to find frustration in how obvious the brainwashing is, how unlikely the trip to the Piconos and events during their stay is, how naive Greer tries to be in supporting Addison versus being true to her own spirit.  The book jacket really does make this seem like it will be a psychological thriller, but it certainly lacks any over the top drama.  In fact, the conclusion was lack luster at best.  This dark tale is going to be picked up, but it may not be finished by all.
