A story about how a godchild tries to live up to his father’s high expectations as his family slowly falls apart.
This was a quick read. I agree with other reviewers that there was a tone shift in the last third of the book. I wish there had been more to the ending to clean up the family fallout but I guess real life doesn’t work that way. I didn’t find the key moments at the end of the book to be very cathartic.
