In just 320 pages, 'Ultimatum' is packed with emotions. The story is about two brothers struggling to mend their broken relationship. While the older brother Vance is about tough love and expressing oneself, Oscar is soft-spoken and sensitive. Somewhere along their life, they stopped communicating their feelings. When difficult things begin to happen, they are forced to find a common ground.
Both the brothers had a lot going on in their lives and my heart was breaking for them. With more hardships, Oscar was building up a shell, while Vance had to be tough and clean up after everything. Through their struggles, they realised that their parents were people, with flaws. Despite what life put them through, the brothers were trying their best.
I was very invested in the story and could not stop reading. The alternative narration between Vance and Oscar was smart and both their voices were distinct. In brief, the story of these two brothers is worth reading.
