I'm the biggest Mike Gayle lover but this one doesn't quite hit it for me. I think Connor's character is well done but I think the journalist was a bit too flat for me. Nice plot development and as always great supporting characters (I did find the Annabelle storyline a bit under developed). I guess it always depends a bit on you what resonates. All the Lonely People still my favourite.

A nice easy read with plenty of twists and turns. I liked that the novel wasn't totally straightforward and sometimes things didn't work out as you would assume.

Reminded me of Joe Nuthin's guide to life (but this was better). The real life references to familiar shops and popular culture worked well. However, always felt like I was reading a work of fiction - I never quite bought into the sense of anything being real.

Connor refuses to move even though the street is going to be demolished because he is waiting for his mum to come home. She has been missing 3 years. Story of friendship, hope and vulnerability of learning disabilities. Nice read.
