I really enjoyed this book it was a quick and easy read that was engaging the whole way through. It was well written with a compelling storyline and well developed charcaters that were relatable and likeable, I couldn't put this book down and read it in one sitting. I would recommend.

I really wanted to enjoy Alexander's Relations. I love books with a music base, I love the 60s and I adore coming of age novels. Sadly, I really didn't enjoy the writing style. So much so that I had to DNF this title.

For me, the side comments by the protagonist were grating. They didn’t seem to happen just once or twice. It felt like it was the end of every section. It made the writing seem conversational which would be fine if that had been set up at the beginning of the story - like if the characters were reminiscing to another character but they were talking to the reader and it just did not sit well at all.

Personally, I think that this novel needed a bit of revision and tidying up. The premise and the story could have been executed better.

Alexandre's Relations by Roger Stokes is available now.
