It was an okay read. I felt like Eddie’s meetings with the five people were too short, and didn’t really help him until the last one. If you need a palate cleanser type of book this is an option.
There are some opinions on father-son relations that I do not agree with. I find it kind of crazy that Eddie could forgive his father for years of abuse because the right thing to do is to let your anger go. As said in another review, there’s outdated beliefs on family and loyalty.
