bookshelves: edelweiss

I've been in a reading slump lately. I have every amazing author's DRC waiting patiently on my kindle but my brain just didn't want to work. I thought I was broken.

Then I received Jason Rekulak's newest book from MacMillan on Edelweiss. I screamed. And just like that, my slump was over.

This is a fun book to read. I honestly had no idea where it was going for the first 3/4 of the book. The main character Frank is the salt of the earth, hard working, soccer dad that I can really relate to. An extravagant night out is Red Lobster, fashion supplied by Costco/Walmart and it is painful at times to see the story unfold through his naïve eyes.

His only daughter Maggie/Margaret has leveled up- she went off to college and now lives in Boston working for one of the largest tech start ups. Their relationship is estranged and we have no idea why, but Frank gets a call on the first page and draws the reader right in.

I didn't set the book down from there.

This book really boils down to the story telling and narration. I keep thinking about it and even though all the characters in the book infuriated me, that's what has me hooked. It was really really well written.

I'm giving it 4 stars only because I wanted a little more at the end.... I liked it. I accept the end. But selfishly want a little more.

Thank you Macmillan and Edelweiss for a complimentary book for an honest review. I'm excited for this to be released so I can discuss it! Its a book that needs lots of different perspectives. And I love that!
