Mostly Madly by Patrick FealeyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Patrick Fealey delivers an interesting male perspective and take on relationships and personal struggles. His main character has his flaws, he's a drunk and in what seems to be a toxic relationship. We see this story told from a women's point of view all the time, but Fealey delves into the male version of the same story. Tommy is a successful journalist with problems from excessive drinking to the most pressing problem of a women he loved but is no longer the same women he once knew.
Although it took me a while to get into the writing style of Fealey, the novel has good pacing and an extreme range of characters that will intrigue the reader to continue reading. Tommy's neighbor Paulo is weird, quirky and to some and overall "donkey" to most people he encounters, but Fealey needs that character present to balance the flow of the novel. I wouldn't mind reading more material from this author.
