Anything but Easy by Susie Tate
3.0
I really like Susie Tate’s writing style and her previous books have always been good so I was very excited to get stuck into this one. I liked that we got both Kira and Barclay’s pov throughout the story and I also enjoyed catching glimpses of characters from past books. I did find Kira to be a bit of a ‘manic pixie dream girl’ at times and there were some points where I got very irritated with her character (lack of caring for her own personal safety!). Even though I was rooting for them I did feel Barclay needed to do a lot more than he did at the end given how harsh he was to Kira. Think I need him to show more of an interest in her whole world rather than just the “weird” / “wacky” bits. I especially liked the way the author handled Henry’s story and HIV. Kira’s interactions with Henry and how she played a role in pulling him back into the world were a highlight for me. Overall a good book, well worth a read.
