I really enjoyed reading this book – although the opening few chapters put you through an emotional wringer! The narrative is beautifully paced and draws you in very quickly. You really start to root for the characters and end up wanting to give most of them the longest hug! My one piece of feedback – and this applies to Open Links too (which I also loved) – is that the ending seems a bit rushed and all tied up very quickly. The beautiful pace disappears in a seeming hurry to get everything wrapped up. I’d happily read extra chapters that go into a bit more depth and detail of how the story is resolved. I prefer The Fruit Bowl and Open Links to I, Gabriel – but that is obviously just personal choice. Keep writing Dom – but please slower endings!
