Intrinsic was the best book I've read in quite some time. The characters were developed so well that I thought I was reading about real people! The plot of Intrinsic didn't seem very unique in the beginning, but it didn't take long for everything to change. Even after losing everything, Chris stood by every decision he'd made and strived to be the best father he could for his two little girls. His best friend, a wise, philosophical, and spiritual man named Sami helped Chris realize the potential for greatness he always knew he had, but had given up on.

Could Chris turn his life around again? He'd gone from riches to rags but wanted better for his children. His family and friends had long ago given up on him; instead of the respected leader of their friend group, he was now the butt of their jokes. Chris used his current situation as motivation to improve, and once Sami helped him to see the light, he had a plan to show everyone the man he had become.

I literally cannot say enough good things about this book! I read it in one sitting, and now I have no idea what to read next. I'm not sure what can follow the kind of exciting, emotional, and hopeful journey that reading this book has been.
