This one was good but I was a little distracted by the multitude of POV. At least she had the decency to make chapter or section breaks when the POV changed (read a story recently that didn't and, boy, was THAT confusing!) I always feel like a new voice needs to contribute to a story in a way tha...

I dove back beneath the awning, where it was dry. Plan, I thought. I needed a plan. I’d left my cell phone at Lance’s house, and even if I hadn’t, Lance would shut off my service as soon as he realized I wasn’t coming back. I hadn’t yet made it into Manhattan, where a taxi...
