Hiding

Hiding is the story of a lovesick teen-aged boy who goes for a walk one night, and sneaks  into the basement of his ex-girlfriend’s house.  He’s trapped overnight because of the security system. When the family leaves in the morning, the main arrives, and he spends the day avoiding the maid while investigating the house he never visited when he and the girl were dating. He finds the house to look perfect and unused, and suspects that the girl wasn’t ashamed of him, but rather of her cold, unwelcoming home. The story is told from inside the boy’s head, and the teenager style of talking may wear on the reader. Twists in the story line may keep readers engaged, but the main plot, gets lost in the multiple plot lines. It was hard to maintain focus, and I did not enjoy this book.
