review 1: This was an easy read and one that I had a hard time putting down. I can't remember the last time I felt like I knew the characters of a book so well! I loved the story, the way it was told, the characters and very much loved the lessons it taught. Several stories actually develop simultaneously when we meet Jesse and his father, Mickey. It offers a wonderful illustration of relationships and how complex and difficult they can be because of what we do to them, based largely in part on our own historical experiences. But relationships can change and people can grow and sometimes, when we get hit upside the head often enough, we might even learn an important lesson before it's too late!
review 2: I picked this Nook book up through B&N not knowing what to expect,
... more except I liked how it sounded. It turned out to be a story about how meaningful relationships should not be taken for granted or underestimated. An aging father moves in with his youngest son after his wife passes away and it becomes clear that Dad should not be living alone. Jesse is much younger than his 3 older siblings and a single man. The story revolves around Jesse's own views on commitment and relationships with women and a lesson his father is trying to teach him. Mr. Aronica included some notes at the end about his career as a writer and some excerpts from some other books he has written. I will definitely be adding them to my "want to read" list. less
