Really wanted to like this book, but the plot and humor just didn’t do it for me.

I loved the the first 3/4ths of the book and the ending fell flat for me. I love the authors writing style and the story though. Loved the different perspectives from mike and benson and the story about their parents. Not sure what the photos in the book added, I was a little confused by that.

Going for 5 because I really felt the pull of the writing style. It felt like the words were placed on the page in a way that felt natural to my brain, allowing me to be immersed in the story. Mike, Ben, and their people are such a normal story. Nothing fucking insane or twisty surprising happens. It’s just feels so good to watch them eat and love each other.

I loved this book so much oh my god. I was laughing and and crying and literally staring at the wall after i finished it. Bryan Washington drops the hardest bars during casual conversations among the characters. 10/10.
