Half a World Away by Mike Gayle

3.0

Mike Gayle is an extremely talented writer. This story is told from the perspectives of both Kerry and Noah - two people with completely different upbringings yet Mike Gayle skillfully gets you inside the head of each character. The dropped stars are because, from the middle of the book, there seemed to be so much padding - soul-searching that was somewhat repetitive and, to me, digressed from the storyline. I admit to skim reading for the last 25% of the book which is a shame because the first half was so riveting.
