  “Not my favourite of Jewell's books, but passable.”

  “This is i think my 5th or 6th book by Lisa J. (font worry, will add them later).
  When i start reading it, i was just so excited to be reading another Lisa''s book, that i was reading only 15ish pages per day for first few days. But after that i said 'To hell with waiting, i have one more book of hers on the shelf!' and i started flying through 100-120 pages per day (yes, i read a LOT).
  
  Book is amazing, beautiful, warm, smart, but very different of other Lisa's books to date. It is about 3 brothers (Tony the oldest, Sean- writer, Ned- without 'proper'' life). , the guy named Gervase (who rented Ned's room when he was in Australia and their parents, Bernie and Garry.
  
  Sean is just the biggest jerk i ever heard of, i hate him so much.... Even at the end, i still hate the bastard. Stupid, arrogant, selfish....he is just disgusting.
  
  
  Ned is superficial (especially in meeting with Becky) and running from responsibility, so he is not my favorite either.
  
  I really like Tony- he is really ''a real man'.
  
  Gervase is... delight. Real friend of the family. Guy who can see in the heart of the others. Guy who doesn't want his misfortune to happen to someone else.”
