Well written, but the second half of the book took a turn that I wasn't expecting.
I've been very curious about this book ever since I heard it was coming out last year. My husband is a huge fan of Mike & Mike, and watches it almost every day. So, I've seen it from time to time as well. I just couldn't imagine Greeny writing this type of book.
In the beginning, I kept reading it in Greeny's voice...which was odd since all the main characters are women. A little ways in I finally got him out of my head and really got into the book. I liked the idea of the book and the storyline. Mike created characters I enjoyed -- I felt for them in everything they went through. This book just reinforces to me how important friends really are.
At times things were predictable, but it was still enjoyable. If he writes another novel, I'll read it for sure.

This is not the review I thought I'd be writing.
Let me start by saying that I am an ardent fan of Greeny. If Mike & Mike has a guest host, I'll only listen if the host is taking Golic's place. But to say that I was skeptical of Greeny's ability to write a book narrated by women? That would be understating it. I thought this would be a one-star review, an "I love you Greeny but your book sucks" kind of a thing.
Nope. I just plain liked this book. It was, of course, underlined with terrible sadness. You cannot read this book without knowing that going in. It's obviously a very personal sadness for Greeny. That's made very clear. I hadn't expected it to touch me so much.
So: it's a very nice little read, and it's a very sweet book, underneath all that sadness. Give it a chance. The sportscaster can write.
