Phil Patton is the author of several novels. Originally from the East Coast, they now live in the Midwest with family. In addition to writing, Phil Patton enjoys gardening, cooking, and reading way past bedtime. Their work often explores the complexities of everyday life and human relationships.
Pretty good overall. Writing is good, just wish there was a bit more depth in certain parts. Still kept my attention though. Enjoyable weekend read.

Good, but not quite perfect. The middle dragged a tiny bit, but the ending totally made up for it. A solid 4 stars from me.
