review 1: Tickety-tock! That's my heart beating happily after reading this beautiful little gem. Neither Charlie nor Ant come from a privileged background. Charlie's mum is fresh out of an abusive relationship, and they're living with a relative until she's able to pull herself together. When little Charlie takes off on his own for the day, a freakish accident almost takes his life. A good Samaritan in the form of Ant, a dreamy 17 year old, steps in to save the day and Charlie's young life. Actually, both boys change each other.Added bonus: I now know that in England cotton candy is called "fairy floss" and bumper cars are "dodge-ems".Overall, a sweet, touching story with a wonderful ending.
review 2: This was a cleverly written short, providing a solidly voiced characte... morer in Charlie, it is easy to feel the admiration and awe he has for Ant. Though the stories shared by Charlie about his life are well-written and voiced, I am still at a loss as to the point: there was no great aha moment in the story when he felt completely himself, or accepted: in fact the whole story seems to lead to a second meeting where they are on more equal footing. Other than that, and an epilogue that shows a happy ever after, I didn’t find a plot here that was clearly defined. It was, however, well written and held my interest until the end, and would be a great prequel for a series; as it stands it desires and requires further plot development. I received a copy of the book from the author for purpose of honest review for the Jeep Diva. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions were my own responsibility. less
