I've been missing Succession and this book was a salve for that specific type of heartache. I found this to be very well-written, with complex and interesting (if at times unlikable) characters. P.S., in my head, I pictured Adam exclusively as Bill Walton, who passed during my time reading this book. Rest in Peace Bill, you are a San Diego legend.
