A beautiful book.
I loved the many different narratives going on - Charles relationship with his dad, his mum, worrying about the future and his exams, his friendships with his boys, the play, and his own internal battle. All of this as well as a sweet romance that made sense and was told beautifully.
This story was crafted really well and this author is so talented. What a joy to read. The story was paced really well in my opinion and you could easily be tempted to read this all in one sitting. Definitely one of my favorite books of this year.
