⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for entertainment
⭐️⭐️⭐️ for plot and writing
Set in London, Cyril is a man with 5 children from 4 different women. He does not have a relationship with any of his children, until one day he decides to get his children together so they can meet each other.
I have a love hate relationship for this book:
I love a book set in London. It’s relatable and the South/South East London dialogue always does it for me. I found Cyril’s character to be written very well. Unfortunately, I know many men like Cyril and it was this that made his character relatable. I loved the fact that the story was highly entertaining and the way the siblings bounced off one another was funny and very fast paced. Telling a story from the point of view of ‘half siblings’ was a fresh angle for me and for this, I would rate the book 5/5.
Now here is why I would give the book 3/5: The plot was unbelievable, dramatic and exaggerated (I did many eye rolls whilst reading
