A good story with grammatical issues

I'll say I enjoyed the story even with the grammatical issues. I realize the writer is from England and lives in Irela, so there are some differencese between British English and U.S. English. But, that being said there are some thing that are the same between the two like missing wordss. Overall the storytelling is gtear, with description being in detail. The writer jumps back and fort to make the reader understand different details in the characters lives that bring them to where they are, and why they are the person's they are today.

An interesting novel with a naturism theme. Simon Butterworth presents us with a story that focuses on the point of view of a teenager and his first approach to naturism. Jim's arc to understand this lifestyle gets complemented with Sasha, a regular of the complex and who knows how difficult is to understand it. Besides some grammatical errors, lack of punctuation and moments of slow rhythm in the narrative, this reading was a pleasant surprise.

The Rents

I was enjoying the story until underage sex became a part of it. At that stage I stopped reading it and turned to the review page.

Slow and boring. Could not finish this book.
