Lenny and Beardo are two childhood friends with a lot of road behind them. When Beardo's deadbeat dad dies and leaves them his old bar, they make a go of it as business partners. Easy enough, right? Maybe not. Running a business in a low-traffic area of town isn't all it's cracked up to be, but luckily for the boys, the one-two punch of viral media attention when their neighbor gets crushed by a 747 engine that falls from the sky and a sorta suspect (but very potent) beer recipe they stumble into catch the public's imagination at just the right time. Things get even more complicated when Lenny's ex-girlfriend Amanda shows up again, pregnant. Can our two heroes weather the ravages of success any better than they dealt with being losers? Can Lenny level up and be a good dad? Can Beardo forgive his dead, absentee father? Will the general public run them out of town when they find out what was in that beer? These questions and more are answered inside! Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Unfortunately, there was a lot that didn't work for me. The only female characters that have any page time are, uh, not shown in the best light - a fact I was reluctantly willing to forgive for most of the novel considering how great the other aspects of it were. But then the ending shows up out of nowhere, and the reader is chewed up and spit back out on the most cliche of endings. It almost felt like the author wasn't quite sure how they wanted it to end, so they went with a trope that will leave the reader feeling betrayed for their time and trust.
It makes me sad to say I wouldn't recommend this book. There was so much potential there, and I was willing to overlook something I don't let most books get away with because I trusted the author - and that trust was thrown back in my face with the ending. I'm sure there's an audience out there for this; it just isn't me.
