This is the story of two eccentric people, Lawrence and Marin, though Lawrence is undoubtedly the most quirky of the two, and the life they have together over the course of about a year as they become immersed in each other’s lives. This isn’t a feel good story or one that in any way glorifies the adventure we call life. At times heartbreaking, sometimes gritty and fantastically real, this story really captures the essence of people and the complexity of their relationships. I definitely felt as if these were real people, with real problems, and if I went to Brighton they would most definitely be there living their lives. It was a bit difficult to acclimate to the style of writing in the beginning, but it kind of grows on you as you move along. A very moving story, I only wish there could have been an epilogue at the end to satisfy my curiosity for what became of all these people I came to know throughout the story, but the ending scene was one of hope, and we don’t get answers for all of our questions in life, now do we. Great story and I’m looking forward to Romy & Raphael, due out Spring 2015!
