Where to begin? I enjoyed every bit of this gritty, earthy and, to me, very humorous, story. The opening pages drew me right in and I enjoyed the painstaking way the characters were developed. Joe and Marley had each had a relationship with Alice, the matriarch of the story, coming from different perspectives. To Joe, Alice was a loving aunt who helped raise him. To Marley, she was a warmhearted neighbor, drinking buddy, confidant, guide, best friend and so much more. Joe was the “bad” nephew who’d gotten sent to prison for murder. Marley had not had an easy childhood with her criminal father but had been loved and protected by her mother. Marley had experienced enough negative feedback from her former relationships that she’d sworn off actually committing to yet another possible failure. She guarded herself and was very protective of the few friends she allowed in her life. Joe, on the other hand, also had friends, Con and Frank, but they had had a long history together and knew each could count on the other for what was needed. They had a long-standing trust that would continue as they looked out for each other. This was actually quite a page turner and, although I enjoyed how it concluded, I was really pretty sorry to see it end. I’m looking forward to future writings by this author.… (más)
