georgie_mb 's review for:
The Coward
by Jarred McGinnis
Ad - pr product
I zoomed through this, and it was a real restraint to keep to the read along dates that I was taking part in because I just wanted to keep reading
Imperfect characters? Boy did I get a load. I loved the rollercoaster of Jarred and Jack’s relationship, from the flashbacks to the present, and I learnt a lot from what was brought up about disability in this. This is not quite a memoir, but there are some similarities between our main character Jarred and author Jarred and there were points where you really felt like the writing was becoming a cathartic process. His words really touched me.
I also love the use of comedy, it’s perfectly balanced in scenes that would probably have been a tear-jerker and you can really hear the sarcastic voices of the characters in your head.
The fact that this is a debut blows my mind, as I feel like with his writing quality, McGinnis has been writing for years.
