Here is the full review, with NO SPOILERS.
The book is a sort of biography of Andrev Walden, where he writes about his childhood. He shows us a unique perspective on growing up with several 'dads' - and the toll it takes on a child. The stories he tells are funny, sad and ffrustrating. Andrev tells the story of 7 dads and how they shaped his childhood - the trauma and life lessons they gave him.
I rated it 3.75. I liked the unique perspective on the different father figures he had throughout his childhood - and how that shaped him. But the writing style and structure wasn't to my taste. That's 100% subjective though. It wasn't bad or boring, it just... didn't vibe with me.
The book hasn't been translated to English, and I don't know if an English translation is in the works or not.
