The Great Unexpected - Dan Mooney

Cover:
Fits perfectly.

Synopsis:
“If you’re going to end it, you better make it big. No slipping off bridges, it’s undignified for men of our vintage. Go big or don’t bother.” 

Joel lives in a nursing home and he’s not one bit happy about it. He doesn’t like being told when to eat, when to sleep, when to take his pills. In fact, he doesn’t like living at all, and he’s decided he’s going to end his life on his terms.

When he tells retired soap-actor Frank about his dark plan, Frank urges him to go out with a bang. Together, they embark on a mission to find the perfect suicide, and along the way, discover the strength of friendship when you really feel alone.

My thoughts and opinion:

This book is so dark, yet so funny. Talk about cynicism at its finest. Joel is a very likable character though. Maybe I'm a cynic as well, I don't know but I loved his sense of humor and the way he saw things. Frank and Joel had a beautiful chemistry and I enjoyed both of them very much. It will make you laugh and cry at the same time, exactly what makes a book great.

Thank you so much Legend Press for sending me this book <3
