The synopsis of Mr Loverman was intriguing but I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. The tone wasn't quite right for me, and I didn't get on with Barry, although I liked the other characters. My favourite chapters were Carmel's - I really liked the writing style and the little glimpses into her life contrasting with Barry's.
