Its a great start to a fantastic series of books

I'm writing this review after reading all the the currently published installments. 

If you do plunge in expect highs and lows and a rollercoaster of emotions as the books continue to chart the progress of  the Castaway hotel. I've been lucky enough to read the whole series of the last few weeks and although I would say it is generally an uplifting tale there are some parts that had me weeping. This is not because the books are all doom and gloom but testament to @Bill Wwriting and characters that you will fall in love with. 

Many thanks again for what must have been a real labour of love.

When I started to read that story, I wouldn’t believe I would be so hooked to this family made with many teens abandoned by their parents !

Through this family, @Bill W will make us live joy, family love & friendship but also sadness & anger because inhumane treatments (just don’t forget boxes of tissus : I cried a loooooot !)

The Castaway Hotel is a story that will make you think and question various aspects of gay life and our responses to how they play out in real life. 

A tale about abuse and neglect, and ultimately to love, care and family, The Castaway Hotel will cause tears to flow and laughter to peel. 

This has been a super summer read.
