Fantastic!
“I really liked Andy, his mother, and his neighbors, Mr. And Mrs. Martin (Marteen- Italian). Andy is a writer trying to meet a deadline and struggles with issues over his weight. His inner dialogue is relatable to anyone struggling with being overweight, yet this is not the focus of the story. We follow Andy’s journey from a self-absorbed, isolated man to a man who becomes involved with events that bring out his best and opens up his life to include others. Events include scary loan sharks bent on collecting money from Mr. Martin that his nephew borrowed to buy drugs. Andy helps his neighbors, the Martines, and forges the first real friendships he has ever had.

In the meantime, woven into his story is the story he is writing, which we get to read over his shoulder as he spins out an action spy novel that keeps you hanging on every word.This novel is exceptionally well written, and you don’t want to put it down. The clean language takes nothing away from the story, which is realistic, relatable, and often humorous. You can’t help but like Andy, his neighbors, and others in the story. You’ll love the hero in the spy novel Andy is writing. I recommend this book 5+ stars.”
