Review
This book made me want to experience living in Las Vegas as well, but I wouldn’t want to live with many people in one house and always decide on things as a group. I’d want to be in control of my finances, what food to eat, and wouldn’t want to deal with different personalities. I guess it’s because I’ve been surrounded by lots of people for most of my life since my childhood years when my extended family lived with us. Then, when I had my own family, I worked in a very toxic corporate environment for 11 years until 2019, where I had to deal with more people than I could handle in a day.
Once my kids all settle down and have their own family, I would want to live the rest of my life not necessarily alone, but not with many people as well. I am done with that part of life and just want a quiet everyday life writing, reading, or watching Netflix. I would however, love to have a week-long vacation with my family and friends in Las Vegas.
As a work of fiction, I truly enjoyed reading this book and I’m sure most people would be entertained by it. Hence, I’m giving it 5 out of 5 stars. It was a fun, heartwarming, and enlightening story about friends who became a true family; solidified by a bond of genuine caring, love, and financial security. I highly recommend this book to ALL readers.
