I LOVED this newest installment in the Life Lessons series. We enter as Mac is recovering from his injury from the previous book and Tony is trying to deal with his fear that Mac may soon be healthy enough to return to work. This series has a fantastic ensemble cast - both protagonist and antagonist-wise. I love that the story is about a mystery but it is also about a family trying to deal with all sorts of shit - adoption, bigoted family members, death, fear, and getting through all of it together. My favorite thing is that, especially when it comes to Mac's recovery, there are no simple answers or magical healing dicks. I am completely in love with this series! 4.5 stars
