This is a promising start to the novel. George seems quite a sweet character whose childhood has been a bit of a rollerblading. I would to see what happens at uni and beyond!

This is the story of George, who has an older sister, and interesting parents.
This excerpt was about an earlier and important time in George’s family, and the beginning of this college years.
Greathead opted for telling George’s story in the third person perspective, which I found to be an ideal fit.
The craft and the pacing are excellent.
Because this was a sample, it is hard to discuss the potential of the plot and characterisation to their full extent.
However, I liked the characterisation, the setting, the dynamics between the characters plenty.
I had a few minor to medium-level comments about the accuracy of some facts and the use of language (these do not majorly affect the story, however careful and critical readers would immediately take note of them). I have let the publisher know what those inaccuracies are.
I am looking forward to reading the whole book. If everything is as great quality as in the sample. I anticipate the whole book will be a 4-5 star read for me.
It is modern and the context in the sample as well as the topics that I personally like like college life, film, novels, art, family dynamics were big hits for me.
Thank you to #netgalley, the publisher and the writer.
