Sorry did not download this book in time and am unable to review

Thank you for the missed opportunity though

I wasn't sure what to expect from KOA. I mean, we got a cast of social misfits going around town spreading the ashes of someone, what could possibly happen? A lot, apparently. There are lots of points where of the book where it's all fun and happy then sad. There is a deep story and while the plot is basic, it has a lot to offer.

What I liked about KOA was how honest Vic and Mad were. Vic is dealing with the death of his father; having trouble coping and Mad is trying to find her place in life after her parents were killed. Not to mention something bad happening behind closed doors. They each are facing troubles and are trying to overcome them. Even though Vic came off as a bit selfish at the beginning, I did understand why he was that way even though I don't agree with it. And Mad is just a wayward soul who is trying to cope as well as find a way to be free. They both just want to be better, and I liked it. Out of all the characters, they felt the most honest and believable.

Plot wise, I was entertained. There have been books where the character(s) have to complete a list of things in order to either find answers or have closure. While some parts of the plot was whimsical, there was also the sub plot of the murder.

I am unable to review this book properly due to a change of device. Apologies for not reviewing sooner.
