Mind The Gap – Phil Earle ★★★

Blurb; When Mikey’s dad died, something in Mikey died too. He loved his old man and he never stopped dreaming that one day his dad would land the role of a lifetime, prove them all wrong, and rock back up to the estate in the flashiest car anyone had ever seen. Now there’s just numbness, and not caring, and really, really stupid decisions. He says the worst of it is that he can’t even remember his dad’s voice any more. Eventually Mikey’s best mate can’t bear it any more, and so he sets out to give Mikey the memories – and his dad’s voice – back



My Review; I’m half and half on this one. We all love a quick read now and again, but at 82 pages, this was extremely short. The story focuses on two best friends. One whose father has just died and is going off the rails… the other is trying to save him. It has a cute ending. But it does contain a lot of violence and fighting. Some would say a pointless read. Others a short, cute, and straight to the point read. I awarded three stars. We would all try to save our best friend if we could wouldn’t we?
