Take the ride of a lifetime with this mother/son, crime/revenge thriller James Patterson praises as โaudacious, addictive, highly entertaining.โ
โย
Eighteen-year-old aspiring comic Joey Rossi just found out his boyfriend has been cheating on him for the past ten months. But what did he expect? Joey was born with an addiction to toxic jerksโsomething he inherited from his lovably messy, wisecracking, Italian-American spitfire of a mom (and best friend): 34-year-old Gia Rossi.

When Giaโs latest non-relationship goes up in flames only a day later, the pairโs Bayonne, New Jersey apartment can barely contain their rage. In a misguided attempt at revenge, Joey and Gia inadvertently commit a series of crimes and flee the state, running to the only good man either of them has ever knownโGiaโs ex, Marco. As they hide out from the law at Marcoโs secluded lake house, Joey and Gia must confront all the bad habits and mistakes theyโve made that have led them to this momentโand find a way to take responsibility for what theyโve done.
