“Can’t make my mind up if I like this book or not. Oliver Tate is 15 years old, he is a tag along bully, has his first proper girl friend, his parents appear to going through maternal crisis, sound like my growing up!
It could be a more adult Adrian Mole, felt a bit like Curious Incident of the Dog. I found some parts entertaining and funny, others a touch padded out.
A quick read (just as well). I’m meeting the author soon so I’ll have to see how he describes his novel.
