Love and Mr. Lewisham by H.G. Wells

4.0

A nice short read. I’ve never read any HG Wells as I’m not a sci-fi fan, but this one is actually a love story/coming of age story and not sci-fi at all. This is the story of Mr Lewisham, a promising science student with a 5 year plan, which goes awry when he falls in love. Nice and pacey for a Victorian novel, with some good perspectives on best laid plans, and our hopes and dreams as adolescents versus the later reality, which actually hit you as spot on even today!
