The audiobook with a full cast was fantastic. I really enjoyed getting to know all od the  characters. The interview style of the book was fun and different.

I liked that Billy's daughter ended up being the author. I just wish there had been a little more between Daisy and Billy. It felt like a lot of build up, they nearly shared one kiss, then after that it was just dirty looks until the end of the novel when bam, they are both admitting they loved each other. I like Camilla and am glad Billy chose his family. But for him to say he loved Daisy, and she loved him, I guess I would have appreciated more descriptions of moments they shared where that love stemmed from.

"Are the flaws of the main characters a main focus of the book?" Never has the answer been more Yes.

This book. Oh my gosh, this book.

I laughed, I cried, I screamed, I wanted to throw it in the garbage. This book just had everything I've ever wanted. This book was so intense, it was just... magical. I loved this book. It is genuinely my only personality trait right now.

Click the spoiler to see why I only rated it 4 stars!

The reason I didn't give this book 5 stars was solely because the two main characters knew how to piss me off in a way that would bring my rating down. Mostly Billy's cheating and the emotional stress he put on his wife, and overall just a lot of Daisy's decisions in general. I loved every other character in this cat though. Warren and Graham will forever have my heart. But those two MCs...
