Lush Life by Richard Price

4.0

I bought this book on a whim. It's not particularly my type of genre, so after starting and stopping, I finally picked it up and hunkered down. The cast of characters were those that seem to come alive from years of watching, Hill Street Blues and Law and Order. While it took me a bit to figure out how the characters fit together, I finally relaxed to let them fully enter my mind, I saw them ... The worn down police officers and overworked detectives, kids trying to find their way in gray world, young adults living life and the parents and siblings that hung on thru gritted teeth to fight their way out of darkness and heartbreak to right the wronged world they live in. I love the bare naked emotions of humanity that can be seen in the people that we may all know in our real lives somewhere. I would highly recommend this book to those looking to escape the fluffy happy endings that we all crave and venture to a darker side that we all know exists but dare not visit in real life.
