What was your favorite part about this book?
I liked the whole family interaction and the realization that a family isn’t perfect but that doesn’t mean that they can’t function as a great family unit. Things aren’t always what they may seem to you. People hide their feelings and so much else.

What was your least favorite part about this book?
I would have liked to see more interaction with Jack. While we got to see him more would have been nice.

What genre would you consider this?
Fiction/Romance (not really a total romance novel in the classic sense but there are parts of the genre in the book)

Overall: A-, I enjoyed this read a lot!

If I was to nominate this book for an award it would be: Best Rich Texan Book
