Driftwood

I really wanted to like this book more than I did. The narrative showed real promise in the first few chapters but then it just started to go on and on with these pointless, unnecessary descriptive passages and entire chapters that seemed completely superfluous; the pacing comletely ruined. The characters were fully fleshed (if sometimes one-dimensional) and the plot was marvelously engaging. But I found myself wishing someone had gone to the trouble of editing it so it read less like a retired footballer's wistful vanity.

I won this book through GoodReads so thank you to the author who sent me this copy for review.
