I liked Mike Gayle books as a teen, they were simple and a little like life, and always a really easy read. The blurb didn't sound terribly intriguing, but then I opened the cover.
Written on the Title page was the kind of message which makes me smile, (and also inspired me to start this blog).
"Hey, my name's Yiota,
I picked up this book at the train station before heading off to a festival. Save yourself the trouble this book is shit. X"
Then below in slightly different pen
"The only constant thing in your life is change. Athena 2016"
After I chuckled, the first thing that came to my mind was;
'Seriously, who has time to read books at a festival???' And then of course I had to check if Yiota was right.
Turns out Yiota was indeed correct.
This book is about a few 20- something couples growing up (or not) together. It certainly took me to my 20s, but had the familiar surface scratch of Mike Gayles books. It doesn't delve deeper, the characters are predictable, and 2d.
If you like those sort of books, OR if you like to prove people wrong, then check out this book, when I deposit at a station. (will update with what station it has been placed).
UPDATE: This book has been left at Reading Station, on a bench on platform 2. If you read it, don't forget to comment. And please share.
Don't forget to subscribe and share. Oh and if you have read it, please share your comments below, I would love to know your thoughts.
Until next time!
