Title: never coheres, never believable
Product review: too bad. i've read stories by baxter that i've liked. but this never reached me, and i was never sure that the author was really in control of what he was trying to do. who's the lead character here, for instance? the so-called "punkette," chloe? she comes across as more like an older male's fantasy than as someone breathing and real. the whole book is marred by some cartoonish touches, such as having a character named bradley who also has a dog named bradley... it's not that meaningful or cute. the more i consider it, this book really ends up being small potatoes [an expression i don't normally use].
