![]() There were threads left hanging that I had been wanting closure to, but I could see how doing that would have taken away the realistic feel to the story. The only issue I had was the ending, which felt rushed. It is her attitude though that balances Trent's and makes their relationship believable. While Trent initially views her as having what he wants for himself, she comes with her own baggage that is completely different than what he has had to deal with. I really liked the inclusion of Pippa's character. Instead she brings out an awareness that Trent's attitudes and actions contribute to his circumstance as much as other of others. Chappell, though, doesn't let this be a case of blame everyone else. He's been physically and emotionally abandoned by his parents, the school system is failing him, and the people on the rez are reluctant to embrace him into their society. For years, he has been bombarded with the idea that he's worthless. Trent is constantly having to examine himself and question not only who he is, but who he wants to be. While there is obviously a plot, More Than Good Enough was really a character driven story. It was hard for me to get into the story while reading the first chapter, but by the end of the second chapter I really wanted to know where Chappell was going with Trent. ![]() ![]() More Than Good Enough is a very interesting novel. ![]()
