this leading family was easy to immediately connect to. While the characters have definitely forged relationships previously and been through many trials and celebrations together, this still felt like an excellent jumping off point to Lewis’ writing. Brian was the perfect character to ease into this fictional world with. His heart, his passion, his loyalty, and his kindness radiated off the pages and pulled the reader in. Thus, despite the varied backgrounds, and clear history between the members, the writing and stories the brothers shared throughout this book made me instantly feel like I’d missed nothing

When I started this book I thought after the first chapter that maybe it was from a series and I had missed a few things. Because when we meet the family they’re all coming together due to the fact the dad Jeremy had a heart incident and the mom immediately wanted to talk about what happened the night before and then they mentioned the letters and I felt as if I was wrong footed and should have read another book before this one but as you continue reading you learn these boys are adopted and Dickie and Jeremy are their adoptive parents Jeff is Jeremy‘s best friend he’s an author and his son Danny is also in a band with some of the adopted children whoever is writing the letters once Danny and Bobby to quit the band but as this is already in ongoing subject you almost feel as if you had missed something. I haven’t even mentioned the bombing at the soccer game the month before. In any event here we are Jeremy just had a hard incident the cops and the FBI are on the letter situation Besides the outside drama we also have family drama that all center around Brian the oldest and first adopted by Jeremih. He is bisexual and his head a relationship with his brother Bobby who he loves and Jeremy is also worried because eighth grader who’s name Michael but the family calls him “two “ he and Brian are very affectionate with each other and Jeremy was worried about what that meant for Michael’s future. I found this book very good and I like the way everyone was so supportive of the boys but I did find it weird that an eighth grader would sit on the sofa and love up test 10th grade brother while watching TV. I could see if he was in the fifth grade or the fourth but eighth grade seems a bit old to be that affectionate with your brother who’s only a few years older than you. No having said that I also thought it was weird that Vickie was A-OK with Brian and Bobby having a relationship that was sexual despite them raising them as brothers. They also have other incidents further in the book that seems like it could’ve been a book on its own. I did like Brian‘s integrity and his want to do the right thing and we’re so sad with the events that take place surrounding him towards the end. Not having said all that I will say I would definitely recommend this book. It is engrossing interesting and they book you think about long after you have closed it. I received this book from NetGalley and black rose writing but I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review. Also forgive me if I got some of the boys names wrong as they had a lot of boys and the names were all similar like Billy Bobby Brian ET see.

this was such a good mystery going on, it had what I was looking for in this type of book. It had a great concept and great characters. Joseph Lewis does a great job in telling the story and I was hooked from the first page. I enjoyed reading this and look forward for more.

"Brett stopped, stared at Two, then at Brian, and said, “Then dad went off on Two and Brian. He asked why they were always hanging on each other. And Two was doing nothing we hadn’t seen a million times. He had an arm around Brian’s shoulders and his cheek on Brian’s arm. Mostly, so he could see the computer screen. But that’s just Two. And Brian. No big deal.”
