Shawn's Law by Renae Kaye
5.0
A deftly woven comic tale, that is pacy and funny. Renae Kaye is proving to be one of my favourite authors.
Shawn and Harley take turns telling their story but their names on each chapter keep the pov straight. Shawn's chapters are told in a much put upon present tense whereas Harley's are in the style of a much loved reminiscence. The story is told contiguously and these two styles do work together.
Each chapter also has a quirky sub heading. Lots of slapstick type humour, though Shawn's Mum's declining health is moving, as well as setting up some of the more comic episodes. Though she is heartbreakingly good when Shawn has a big accident and reverts to her mum self.
Loved it, will read again and the last chapter - oh so short but very funny
