The beginning of Ever's story is heartbreaking, showing the myriad of ways in which the circumstances of his life continually work against his success. And yet, as the story continues, we see this young man discover himself and his purpose; though he is by no means perfect, readers see the ways in which Ever shows up for his kids and his community on a steadfast and continuous basis.
At times, the narrative felt like it prioritized telling rather than showing the events that occur in the book, but other than that I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend to others, though not without checking content warnings beforehand.
