Took me a while to get over the whole "I'll put my name in the title" which usually means it's pedestrian shite of the boringest order (see "Harlan Coben's Safe" or anything Tom Clancy) and give it a go.
It definitely grew on me as it went along, but it's still not amazeballs.
apparently the getting on a bus to Atlantic City, eating lunch you brought with you in the food court while watching soaps and cashing in the vouchers when it's time to go home is totally a thing.

very sweet if a bit tropey.
