Life isn’t always responsible.
After his mother tragically dies and his deadbeat father goes off the rails, nineteen-year-old Micky is left to care for his disabled little brother, Flynn.

Until he meets Dan…
REVIEW:
I don’t know what it is but I’m reading books lately with a lot of kids that just melt every piece of my heart. This book was good, for me, because of Flynn. He is the most adorable little guy and I just wanted to bring him home and hug him to bits. He’s so special and I wish the world acted more like him.
Micky used to basically be a thug. Fighting, street fighting, slutting it up. But between his deadbeat father and the suicide of his mom, there is no one left to care for Flynn but him. And he will do anything for Flynn. And if that means straightening up, he will do everything he can, including working a crappy job, and trying to finish the schooling he never did. But social services is on his butt, kids are picking on Flynn, and Micky may have went to far in protecting him. The only other bright spots in his life are his best friend Jason, whom he’s afraid to tell he’s gay, and his new boss, Dan, whom he’s trying to warn off that he’s not a good guy. But Dan sees beneath the gruff exterior and Micky can’t help but to hold on to this light in Dan. But trying to get past all the bad may not be enough.
Flynn, like I said, made this book. His sweet disposition just made you fall in love with him. Having a disability, his outlook on life is a little different and most everyone he meets wishes everyone in the world could be like him. You want to do nothing but hug him and hold him and protect him from everything the world throws at him. We all know how cruel the world can be. And I have to admit, I’d be in a crap load of trouble like Micky, wanting to beat the crap out of these kids and parents who pick on Flynn. I had to admire Micky in this book. He stepped up and did the right thing to care for Flynn when no one else would. And most people today would even attempt to do. The only major complaint I have as far as characters in this book is Dougie. He was painted in such a bad light. An overweight guy who does nothing but eat and think of eating. He works but is painted as more or less lazy and begrudging having to do anything. And always looked over because of his weight by women. Just didn’t seem right the way he was portrayed.
Anyway, if you read this, read it for Flynn. He is one of the best characters I’ve ever read. I just love him. He is what is making me want to read the next books.
