Jonathan Sims I love you! I will never stop reading the books this man publishes, whilst I preferred his first book, this one was a great second book for him and I cannot wait to see what he writes next!

i would read jonathan sims' grocery list, not just because the grocery list would be incredibly well written but because it would also be thematically cohesive and feature a+ representation. i bought this book instead of socks and it was a purchase i would make about ninety more times

Johnny is one of the best writers of this generation and i stand by that. while family business is not as well known as some of his other works, I personally find it a stronger narrative (character wise) than 13 storeys. if you love stories of grief and found family that are mysterious and horrifying, this is for you
