basically, i absolutely loved this book. but, I also didnt. there r a lot of issues w it, especially andrew and how his character is written. a lot of things make no logical sense. characters make choices that are like 100% obviously not a good choice, and they should know that having been through what theyve been through
My critiques/questions abt this book pasted from my GR review
Again, Nora, what medication is Andrew on.
Also why wasn't Renee with them for the little Christian thanksgiving dinner? Why did Neil let Andrew be by himself at Nicky's parents house?
Why hadn't Bee already called in for Andrew to be put in rehab? I just don't understand. I am stupid, so I probably passed over where it was explained, but so many things just don't make logical sense.
ALSO HOW IS 5FT TALL OVERLY MEDICATED ANDREW SOME KIND OF PROTECTOR AGAINST A LITERAL ORGANIZED CRIME/MOB GROUP THAT HAS JUDGES AND PROSECUTERS ON THEIR PAYROLL???? IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE . WHY IS RIKO SO SCARED OF AN ILL LITTLE MAN? </spoiler/
