Could I explain the plot to you at all? No. 

Did I have a good time? Yes

*use of the r-word was gross and unnecessary

It's been a while since I read these books. The writing is not amazing and it has a lot of faults. AND YET I devoured this within about 24 hours. I do appreciate the fact that this book mostly sets up the next two books. I like these early iterations of the characters less, but also that is the point, to see how they develop over the series. Especially

Andrew on his meds

is just much less appealing to me as a character, compared to later in the series. 

This does mean that I'm looking forward to the next book(s)! 

I do have to say, that the writing definitely already picks up towards the end of the book, from

the showdown at the tv show

on you already get a good idea of what the next two books are going to look like, as far as character dynamics go.

If you’re looking for a literary masterpiece this isn’t the trilogy for you. If you want an emotional  read about a found family with a group of young adults that are deeply flawed and yet deeply lovable, then I highly highly recommend!!

This is one of my favorite books of all time. The quotes and scenes crack me up months after reading and I find myself thinking of these characters in my day to day life. The fan base is amazing and there's much fan made content that fits in seemlessly with the official content.

This book is about the mafia and all of the foxes comes from rocky and abusive childhoods, nothing is written for shock value and it's handled well but it is intense and should be known before reading this book.
