A page-turner that kept me guessing until the last page. Funny, shocking, culturally relevant and a little spicy. I loved JPR's first book, "Yes, Daddy", " Read more of this review »

Quotes by Jonathan Parks-Ramage (?)

“Trauma is like a gift. The shittiest fucking gift in the world. Coal in your motherfucking stocking. But the minute you receive it, it becomes yours. And it’s your responsibility what you do with it. And you can use it as an excuse to destroy your life and destroy the lives of people around you, but you shouldn’t.”
― Jonathan Parks-Ramage, Yes, Daddy

“It was as if religion had been rendered powerless by commerce—holy shrines removed by enterprising architects and replaced with rows and rows of new things to worship. Things to buy. Things much easier to obtain than God’s forgiveness.”
― Jonathan Parks-Ramage, Yes, Daddy
