Mike Gayle’s writing is very simple and easy to read, but both narrators had such distinct voices which made them fully believable and I loved both of them.
The plot caught me completely off guard, I didn’t see Kerry’s story coming at all and the last few chapters were a tough read. I liked how the story was about a sibling relationship rather than a love interest. I’d love to know what’s happening another 5 years down the line.
The balance between the main characters and central plot, and the minor characters and side plots felt perfect. Enough detail to feel realistic and give the story depth without wasting time or taking away from Noah and Kerry.
I’ll definitely be looking for more of Mike Gayle’s books to read.
