Why did it take me so long to finally read and review my e-ARC of Yes, Daddy? The book came out in May 2021, and I guess I just had so many other books to read and review that summer. But I could finally start going back through my neglected Netgalley list and make headway through some of the books that had been backburnered.
So what's this book about?
Down on his luck, Jonah decides to pursue famous playwright Richard Shriver. And it works! Jonah thinks all his dreams have come true. He's found someone to help read and critique his writing. He's found someone to take him to and pay for dinner. And he's found someone who can remove him from the decrepit NYC apartment that he can barely afford. But while spending an extended stay at Richard's Hamptons compound, Jonah is gang raped by Richard and his friends. It doesn't just happen one time. And Jonah isn't the only one this is happening to.
How can Jonah escape? Who can Jonah trust? (And can they trust Jonah?) And how does his history of trauma shape the man he becomes?
This is a twisted story that, honestly, at one point, took an unexpected turn that made me go, "Excuse me, what is happening?" It starts at a court trial, and then takes us back in time to when Jonah meets Richard. Then it fast-forwards to after the trial, at a time when Jonah must finally take accountability for all of his past actions.
Yes, Daddy is published by Harper and is available to purchase now. I received a free e-ARC.
