The beginning was very good. River’s childhood was quite sad &strange. It’s clear throughout the book how he was used by his parents. 1 of the OGs in the classic scenario of child stars who are substance abusers and/or hanging by a thread but no one cares as long as they go to work.

The book though was incredibly disjointed with random 90s stuff added in. To fill out the whereabouts of the Phoenixes &friends. Things not fact checked, misspellings, etc.
