Ritchie does it again with his sharp dialogue and humor, bringing the characters to life in a way that feels real and relatable. Daniel is written so vividly that it’s as if you’ve known him for years—every conversation, thought, and sarcastic remark draws you in further. The pacing is perfect, blending laugh-out-loud moments with subtle emotional depth. I couldn’t put this book down!

Easy to read and hard to put down at times. I liked flipping back and forth on the timeline by how it was written. It gave foreshadowing at times and also perspective on what might be coming in the book at others.

Twists and turns in the complicated, dark, but sometimes funny family drama. Love all the characters one minute and hate them the next. This book keeps you on your toes with a few surprises at the end. Fast read for me.
