There's so many interesting characters in this book, the young and entertaining toddler Joel who brings so many of the comedic moments to the storyline, Ben who is the boy that never grew up, Téo who's return to visit his father Vic brings more questions than answers and triggers a chain of events none of them are prepared for. They all show what love and family really means, the highs, the lows, the infuriating, and the complexity of being vulnerable. It took quite a few chapters in before I got into the prose and writing style of the book but once it clicked I enjoyed it thoroughly and felt a strong connection to the characters.
