The story gives us a brief history of the main character Dave and how he came to be a lawyer despite appearing to not want to be one and shows us his one friendship with his college, John. Then John disappears and Dave continues on to become an even more successful lawyer but has no real life outside of work. When John appears over a year later and explains where he has been, Dave knows he cannot continue with his mundane and unsatisfying life so he quits his job and moves to the country with his cat.

This book is completely not what I was expecting and was as such I was pleasantly surprised. It touches on many heavy themes in a completely approachable way. I particularly enjoyed the discussions between Dave and John as the touched on so many important issues and were laid out in a completely relatable way, I especially enjoyed the discussion on questions of ethical laws (FYI I am Team John on that one!)

This is definitely going on the shelf with my books that restore my faith in humanity and is one I will pick up again when I need a little perspective.

Thank you to @rararesources for letting me be part of the blog tour and to @MaunzDaniel for gifting me a signed copy of this stunning book.
