I assume you know the plot. A millionaire exec is told he has a terminal disease, an especially debilitating one. Years ago he was a sperm donor, multiple times. He wants to connect with “the kids”. So does someone else.
I haven’t read many books this year that I was anxious to pick up and get back to. FYF is the big exception, not because of any big cliff-hangers, nor cheap thrills. Just very good writing. No stupid twists, just plausible surprises and misdirections, and lots of suspects. FYF made up for a lot of big name 2021 disappointments and some over-hyped yawners in the first half. I’m sure there’s another Barclay out there for me to do the same in the last six months of the year.
So, after you put FYF for the last time, tell me you’re not going to see the movie, because as we both know, we just can’t miss that scene coming down the staircase…..
The story opens with Miles Cookson, a fabulously rich tech guy, finding out that he has a devastating and fatal disease — and it’s hereditary. So he sets out to locate the offspring he must have from selling his sperm to a sperm bank twenty years back. He wants to provide for those kids, since they may be in for his illness.
This plot has twist after twist. The action is absolutely terrific. The denouement is breath-taking. The good guys are perfectly ordinary people (young and not so young) who turn out to be courageous and wonderfully resourceful — from Miles to his “daughter” Chloe to his chauffeur Charise (ex-wrestler, ex-bouncer). The villains are deep into villainy.
I can’t say enough good things about this book.
