I got this because I loved Foster by Claire Keegan. I didn't like this one nearly as much. It is set around Christmas time, which is nice if you read this around that time of year. Something about the main character rubbed me the wrong way, I appreciated that he tried to do something good at the end, I suppose, but it's left on a massive cliffhanger. I wouldn't say this is a feel-good story because the ending is left far too open and the journey to get there all feels like a bit of a downer.
