Goodreads Synopsis:

Pat Peoples knows that life doesn’t always go according to plan, but he’s determined to get his back on track. After a stint in a psychiatric hospital, Pat is staying with his parents and trying to live according to his new philosophy: get fit, be nice and always look for the silver lining. Most importantly, Pat is determined to be reconciled with his wife Nikki. Pat’s parents just want to protect him so he can get back on his feet, but when Pat befriends the mysterious Tiffany, the secrets they’ve been keeping from him threaten to come out . . .

My Review:

This was a simple read with so much emotion packed into it's pages, that I was somewhat surprised at how much I loved this book. I knew I would like it after I first started reading it, but the more I read it, the more I fell in love with the raw honesty of it.

With that said, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would, and most likely will, recommend this book.

Favorite Quote:

"life is random and fucked-up and arbitrary, until you find someone who can make sense of it all for you— if only temporarily"
