I have mixed feelings about this story. Natalie was pretty good - she had her act together but her friend, Vince wasn’t much of a friend because he set her up, lied to her and manipulated her ostensibly for his brother’s happiness but I think more for himself not wanting Volt to leave and live in China.
Volt was brought to his knees by his ex-wife (we get the details in a trickle) and uses that to push everyone away and maintain feelings of inadequacy and rage. He didn’t even show much outward affection to the children. Speaking of the children, Henry was the most stable person in the story and he was 6. Unfortunately he will observe the weaknesses of the older men in the story.
This book was well written and it could be for you. There are a lot of unique elements and threads in the story. It just wasn’t for me.
