I feel like I need to explain this particular five-star rating. Here's the thing: I really like terrible people in the books I read. I particularly enjoy reading about them going through various trials, tribulations, even misfortune. Some of my favorite characters are terrible people, but I really enjoy reading about them.
As a result, this book was a treat for me. Almost everyone is a terrible person, but very convincingly written and, dare I say, compelling. We can all see that Bram is an absolute self-sabotaging mess of a person, but I still empathized with him a bit because he has so much remorse and loves his family deeply, so I found myself rooting for him a bit by the end despite myself. Fi is someone we've all met or known and I'll leave it at that.
I was engaged throughout the reading. This was like watching a train wreck unfold in slow motion and I couldn't look away. There were several plot points that most people could see coming a mile away, but still a few that surprised me as well.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was exactly the sort of quick, engaging read I imagine the average reader would enjoy. There's enough to talk about to make an engaging discussion out of the contents. Most importantly for me, the characters feel very authentic and fun to read about.
This book makes no pretensions to high literature. It's a story about a train wreck and does so in a very engaging and efficient way. Very enjoyable indeed!
