Am a huge Box fan, but this one didn't get it for me. The 'good guys,' a couple who'd adopted a tot then found the teen father hadn't signed papers properly, were likeable enough. The tot was sort of a stock character cute 9 month old dragged in from time to time to elicit sympathy. The teen father's dad was a nightmare cold lawyer who was easily identified as a real bad guy on first meeting. The two hapless friends of the adoptive father joined up and formed a team trying to help. And from there (the set-up) it was a really quick read and went downhill all the way. I think Box simply packed in too much action as he got bored writing it. By the end of the deal I liked no one and all reality was lost.
