Mixed feelings about this one, and it's all to do with the characters' personalities. Harry is entertaining and clearly cares about his boys, but it annoys me that he thinks he's street smart and great at reading people when he's actually rather dense. Liam's an asshole who claims to care about Harry then proves he doesn't through his actions. I don't like Logan for the same reasons no one else likes him. Since we're hearing the story through Harry's perspective and his view of Danny is so skewed, I don't know enough about who he really is to form an opinion other than that he has some major issues.

All that to say, with character driven stories like this, I need to grow to care for at least one of them to enjoy reading, but everyone is just too unlikable to me. Harry comes the closest to it with his sometimes funny thoughts, but he's still just ok, which is how I've ended up feeling about the book as a whole.
