Well, that was an adventure. I was so excited to continue with Tatum's story after reading F**k, Marry, Kill Me, Daddy (which I absolutely loved). This story was just as over the top and unhinged as the previous book. We get a lot more found family vibes in this one, which always makes me so happy. They are a super dysfunctional found family, but their hearts are in the right place... sort of. These characters have zero boundaries, which made for some crazy shenanigans amongst our Murder Daddy family. I love Tatum so much. Lansdale does a wonderful job of balancing out the serious with comedy. Tatum is still healing from his mentally abusive relationship, but Abi is there to pick up the pieces. Tatum resists him (kind of) every step of the way. The beginning of the story flashes back to when Tatum and Abi meet and the alleged "kidnapping," then flashes forward to 6 months later to the present day. Scotty causes some problems, Tatum isn't super thrilled about it, Brody threatens Tatum (and various inanimate objects), and the Murder Daddy team works through it. This is the most not-so-wholesome wholesome story I have ever read, if that makes any sense to anyone. Whatever. I'm here for it. I laughed so much reading this from the absolute absurdity of it all, and that's a big reason why I love it. This was a crazy fun time, and I'm already looking forward to the next book.
