Review: I didn't enjoy this one.

I'm sad to say that this book was a disappointment for me. One of my favorite books is Harper Fox's "Life After Joe" so I was just astounded to find that I didn't enjoy this one. First of all, the theme is one that I don't often like. I had no idea that this book was about mobsters, which for some reason is a trope that doesn't work for me. Another thing that bugged me was the tone. It was just relentlessly bitter and depressing. The main problem for me though was that I didn't get any sense of chemistry between Sam and Lauro. They just did nothing for me as a couple, and I couldn't get behind either of them as they F-ed up more and more. I'll keep reading Harper Fox because I know how amazing she can be, but this book was a miss for me personally.
