A kind, hopeful message and heaps upon heaps of delightful absurdity. The author showed unfortunate propensity for would-be funny similes and the MC wasn’t very likeable, but other than that I don’t have any major complaints. It’s a decent relaxing read.

This book absolutely broke me. This is in no way a YA but it reads like one which I loved.
The literal tears of joy I shed when Will bust down their apartment door to watch his dad almost get his shit kicked in and SPOKE AFTER OVER A YEAR??? absolutely unmatched feeling. My heart broke.
The grief of a lost loved one was so real and raw in this and it felt like I'd been the person that lost someone, not Will and Danny.
Krystal is one of my favorite characters in this book second only to Ivan. The stunt she pulled where she got all of her girls to dance with Danny at his final performance was so amazing.
And that ending?? Danny becoming a full-time exotic dancer at Krystal's club and he and his son's bond growing stronger every day? Hilarious and so so perfect.
