Half a World Away by Mike Gayle
3.0
An okay book
I liked the blurb, and from the outside it looked like a great story. But once I started reading I found that I had some trouble connecting with the characters, I wasn’t as emotionally invested in them as I’d hoped. There were also a lot more text then dialogue, which put me off a bit. Ended up skimming the text quite a bit. That being said, it’s an okay book if you’re looking for something easy to read.
