I loved the sections about his home life with his mum and grandma. I was less interested in his relationship with Trevor, because it was a bit too ‘coming of age’ for my taste. The book jumps backwards and forwards in time, which was sometimes confusing, but I do think that this worked well.
It’s very poetic and beautiful in places, but overall it didn’t really resonate with me.
