Yes | No“The author uses the perspectives of different characters to tell the story of a botched robbery at a fast food restaurant. This is an action packed page-turner! Each character tells the story through his or her eyes and they each react differently to the events of the evening. The story ends with an interesting follow-up, one year later, that tells how the traumatic events affected the lives of the people involved. ”
