Query: Was the book inspired by "A Perfect Storm"?

After the wonderful evocative North Carolina descriptions in Early from the Dance and Ruin Creek, this book comes across as a generic. Instead of something different and distinctive, this book reads like "A Perfect Storm" transported to the Outer Banks. I wished that the protagonists would grow up - they weren't kids, and all that education failed them and rendered them immobile when it came to dealing with their own lives. So much self-consciousness - how do they manage to fill out their tax returns?
