Cheevey

by Gerald DiPego

In Cheevy, a young man tries desperately to grow up as his family falls apart around him. A wise, humorous and deeply touching portrait of the American family, Cheevy has a real emotional truth that is firmly grounded in the details of everyday life--it's the story of life, love and family and the difficulties of living in the modern age.

[Zeel Patel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very realistic book about the dysfunctions of a family. The main character is very likable and throughout the book I could feel myself rooting for him while having a lot of sympathy for him too. The arc with his love interest was disturbing but I think needed to really understand his character in depth. The highlight of the book if the natural dialogue the author writes in, it makes the book feel very realistic and adds to how depressing the story really is.
