I was thrilled to have a chance to read this, because I’d been eyeing it up from time to time and then got gifted it by a friend 🥹

Unfortunately, it wasn’t the mind-blowing tale I was expecting. However, the calmness in which the narrator discusses his and his family’s lives were poignant ✨ There was a particularly difficult part (content warnings are included below), but there was more joy than I expected. This family, working towards the supposed ‘American dream’, have so much love to give to each other ❤️
I also enjoyed Johnny’s appearances throughout the story. I thought he was a buoy for our narrator when sometimes the narrator seemed to be ‘drowning’.

3.5 out of 5 stars for me. Thank you ✨
