Fun and Games

'Fun and Games' is set on a small Irish island during the summer before college starts. It’s about friendship, football, first love and sex, and all the insecurities that go with it. John is 17 years old. He's not a child anymore but clearly he's not an adult either. There are many books about growing up from a female point of view, but this is one from a male point of view, and I think it's pretty well done. I would have liked to have seen more ‘show� instead of ‘tell� though. A pretty good coming of age debut novel all the same.
Thanks you Fourth Estate and Netgalley UK for the ARC.
