The Truth About Riley by Henrietta Clarke
2.0
Pleasant enough riff on The Shop Around the Corner, with Cam & Riley developing a phone friendship while Riley hides away, horrified by his own post-fire scarring.
I'd give this a higher rating but there's a lot of tell, not show, and it takes forever for Riley to meet Cam. There's slow-burn and there's "get a bleeding move on". Slightly surprising that Riley's sensible mother hasn't raised therapy with him.
