I liked the premise of this a lot but it really doesn’t pick up until right at the end and there wasn’t any twists that I didn’t already see coming.

Definitely found none of the “twists” a surprise and was quite predictable. I think that with all of his books I’ve read actually but I just don’t care when it comes to John Marrs books because I still never want to put them down!

It was sad, it was funny, it was messy and felt very real.
