Very emotional read. May not be for everyone. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for my honest review. Receiving the book in this manner had no bearing on my review.

Colorful mix of unrelated characters interact in ways that entertain and intrigue. A San Francisco earthquake (I'm guessing 1989's) somehow unites two random co-workers at Consolidated: uptight British manager with daddy issues and a drinking problem Megan, teaming up with her wisecracking underling Hayden, in a madcap but well-intentioned series of misadventures involving a homeless veteran, family members, roommates, neighbors, and an ex, among others. San Francisco plays a part in the drama as well, colorfully characterized, front and center. I like the way author Tom Bentley enhances these characters with so much of their better selves, even when dealing with dark topics, there is a California lightness to the pace and patter that makes it all manageable.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publishers and the author for a copy of this book. From the 1989 San Francisco earthquake an unlikely trio of characters are drawn together in a strange friendship. Megan a high flying career girl with a troubled childhood , Hayden her subordinate at work, an unpublished writer, searching for the right relationship, troubled by his friends illness and Jacob, a Vet and recovering alcoholic living on the streets outside their office building. This was an emotional and sensitive read and I would highly recommend it.

I enjoyed how it all tied the characters together, but I wasn't in love with the book. The overall picture was a great read. Just didn't enjoy it.
Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book.
While I got the book for free, it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.
