Half His Age A Novel
Borrowed from the library, the iCarly autobiography never really grabbed me. Might not be my people, but the set-up and subsequent reviews of Half His Age intrigued me. Got a library copy, and read the first half of the novel in almost a single sitting, just as fun, puerile entertainment.
There’s something, plays to the fantasy of younger female interested in an older male, the dynamic of power in such a relationship, inappropriate that it might be.
Fiction. sometimes, fiction is more true than truth.
Half His Age
But the second half opened up a kind of seriousness, yet with a playful lilt, in part, with an underage narrator wrestling with adult issues.
Rich text, plot and story propelled forward with lively narrative. Thoroughly enjoyed the novel.

Really enjoyable novel, for me.
