Ultimatum by K.M. Walton
4.0
This book was really heartbreaking. You have two brothers who are basically on the different side of the spectrum. Vance, popular lacrosse player and sort of selfish and then introverted Oscar. He loves drawing and classical music. Both boys have lost their mother and now they are both about to lose their father. This story focuses a lot on grief, alcoholism, regret and closure.
This book was really good. It was so emotional and deep. It was told in the perspective of the brothers. Oscar in the present day and Vance in the past leading up to the present day. I enjoyed that format. You see how Vance sort of grows up from before his father landed in the hospital to present day and Oscar becomes more sure of who he really is. The family of the two boys was very dysfunctional. Dad was always drinking, Vance always into sports and Oscar is a recluse majority of the time.
The brothers show growth and even though they dealt with death and grief and wasn't really sure where the future held for them at the end they was able to set aside their differences and be brothers once and for all.
*I RECEIVED THIS BOOK FROM NETGALLEY FOR A HONEST REVIEW*
