I agree with other comments here, and in your other stories about the authenticity of language and scenes. I felt as if I were in the MRI (the hospital not a scan machine!) with all its great points and systemic weaknesses. Reading this story at Christmas on a visit to Birmingham has got me thinking a lot. Thank you and may your stories reach more people in 2024.
un abrazo 🤗
Another good installment. Deidre’s character is fleshing out a bit more which adds some subtlety. Brian and Gordon need to chill out a bit. They are providing what any emotionally messed about teenager needs: security and certainty of being loved. At the same time they are on a huge learning curve themselves. Life serving the emir seems a long time ago.
thanks, Robert and wishing you a peaceful (but creative!!!) holiday. As for me B97 here I come!
“It was an old place, recently done up in a modern style that aimed to emulate what might have once been here.”
The prose is a sheer delight to read showing off the wealth of language we have.
Bravo!
It’s hard to imagine that the author could follow up “Good guys don’t date bad boys” with such originality at the same time as connecting with the first. But she does it in spades. Whilst full of comedy and student dramas, the story also explores the emotional development of the protagonists.
easily a 5 ***** read.
ps. It’s also “muy picante” 🌶️ hee
Eating ice cream as I reached the end of the installment! Robert, this is such an enjoyable story. It makes me miss the uk and then I look out of the open windows with 30° on our little balcony ……..
great work, and thank you 🙏
