I heard about this book on a FB forum and the person said Tristan and the three boys were hysterical, it was great laugh. I noticed nothing was mentioned about Claire, the mother, but I didn't think anything about it. I did switch over to the audio and thought the narrators did a good job, but it didn't improve my opinion of Claire.

I started reading this book and discovered I could absolutely not STAND Claire. Deep breath. I'm wondering if I can continue with this book as much as this woman offends me. So far, she is rude and judgmental. But, I'm waiting for the good part of this book to appear.

I finally get to where Tristan and the three boys interact. It is an hysterical first meeting that had me falling over on my side. It was tear worthy funny. Then they brought Claire back into the book and I went back to not being able to stand her.

I won't go into the details of all of the back and forth. Bottom line, the interaction between Tristan and the three boys was always on point, even when it was difficult. I thought Claire's behavior was trash almost from beginning to end. I did like Emily and Marley. I could have done without Tristan's mother.

I thought the there was a better solution for the ending, but that was probably just me. Seemed to me like Tristan had done most of the giving throughout the entire book.

This would have been 5 stars if not for Claire's personality. I am going with 3.5 as it stands.

It was a fun read. Comedy, spice, anticipation. The ending was cheesy, but the banter between Tristan and the boys throughout the book is hilarious. I was cracking up the entire time.
