    Just a bunch of insufferable people making each other's lives hell. 10/10 drama highly recommend!

    I think this book can be summarized in 2 words: masculine rage And you know what? I'm not interested.

    This book is for people who unironically say "revenge is a dish best served cold"

    But seriously, I could see this book being a favorite among people who like prefer this genre. I think if you really like gritty action with characters who are crass, brash, and unapologetic, then this book is probably for you! It is extremely fast paced and can only be described as pulpy. the characters (and especially the villains) all feel bombastic and larger than life. The character development of Buddy Lee and Ike going from unlikely partners in crime to becoming a real family is very well done. The slow trust and camaraderie was developed very well.

    The audio book narration was also excellent, I think the narrator accounts for most of the enjoyment that I got out of this story.

    HOWEVER, this book was not my jam. The story is so misogynistic and homophobic and I know that is the point but it was just not enjoyable to read about at all. A lot of the violence felt like it was trying too hard to be edgy and masculine in a way that was so off-putting to me. Also one of my biggest issues was the prose - some of the descriptions and metaphors used were so cliche that it kept taking me out of the story since it did not vibe with the serious subject matter.
