I really liked this book and have so much to say about it. I am still thinking if I shouldn't write a review exclusively for Father Mine and make this one more general, because the short story absolutely deserves that.

Anyway, I absolutely love this book and I'm really glad I got it. So many details and stories about thr Brothers. So many laughs and smiles and heartwarming moments (and heartbreaking as well).

Father Mine owns my heart and is the absolute best part of this book. But oh man, those interviews... they are the very thing I didn't know I needed, but absolutely did. Then I think it was very thoughtful and kind from Ward to add her own writing and publishing experience along with some advice - I am sure it will help a lot of aspiring writers. Those deleted scenes are delightful and the last one owns a piece of my heart as well. The Slices of Life are another thing I didn't know I needed, but absolutely did - especially the ones about Phury. Oh boy, how Thor's current state broke my heart 💔

And the funny ones cracked me up. Just like the interview the Brothers did to Ward and that was absolutely delicious. I expected more from In Memorium, but it was sweet and the ending was really heartbreaking.
