I received a copy of this book in exchange for a review.
This is the story of a young man who will go to any length the protect his older, but mentally disabled, brother. His life in't what he wants it to be and he can't take care of his brother the way he wants, so he devises a plan to help, but it doesn't exactly go as planned.
This book was very short, but it packed a lot in. It takes place over a couple of days and we learn a lot about the family, how they ended up where they are, and we see the plan to change it. I got through this book in about two and half hours.

I really appreciated the writing style the author chose. It helped set the intensity of the story. A quick read about how poor decisions have a butterfly effect on life.

Super quick read. I picked up this book because I respect the author for his service to the country. The book was about Johnny a grocery store stocker who helps to take care of his brother, Arty, who has special needs.
In the book we find out that Arty works at a laundromat and loves to clean clothes. When the owner of the laundromat meets with Johnny about how to tell Arty that they are selling the business Johnny has to find out how to get the 40,000 needed for the laundromat so Arty doesn’t loose his joy.
The book is quick moving, there is not a lot of character development but overall it kept me interested. I was a book that was not bad or great it was just okay. I would definitely try others by the author in the future but this one is not one I would recommend.
