Changes

There are lots of mysteries in this book, beyond finding out who can legitimately say ''Luke, I am your father''. There’s lots of confusing jumping to conclusions and lots of secrets to come out, but I didn’t feel there were that many surprises. I think there were supposed to be some gasp-out-loud moments, but somehow the clues dropped were a bit large and a bit blatant, so it was pretty obvious how it was going to end. Even towards the final pages , I wondered whether there might be a big 180 still waiting to pop out and really shock me, but ultimately it ended in exactly the way I thought it would, such was the clarity of the hints early on.

That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy it all, because it was a very funny read with some characters. The BDSM angle was quite unexpected, and at first , I thought it might be trying to hitch its wagon to [[Fifty Shades Of Grey by EL James|Fifty Shades’]] star, but the way it plays out is quite different (and funny), though I have to say I’m supremely glad May is not my upstairs neighbour.

This is an easy book to read though I felt it didn’t need to be quite so long. It’s Irish but not too Irish (just a few uses of “Will I…?” that you don’t tend to get over this way) and brimming with a very likable likeable cast of characters. You could certainly do worse.
