There is so much in this book that I can't take seriously (and some of it even gives me the ick). First: the town is named Tilikum, which is the name of the orca from SeaWorld (and is an innuendo all by itself). Second: Logan insists on using different "bro" nicknames for his brothers (broatmeal, bro mein, and bromeo to name a few) and then they name their child Broderick (I cannot take you seriously). Third: 3/5 Bailey brothers are firefighters and a 4th wanted to be one (guys, there are jobs in a small town other than firefighter). And fourth: all 5 brothers believe the town's mystery missing treasure could save their Gram's home (I'm all for a goofy side-plot, but you cannot convince me that 5 grown ass adult men really believe it to be a viable option (even as a last resort)).
