It pains me to say this after I adored last year's reading of Abigail Tarttelin's Golden Boy but this book was just not for me. This may be because I am not a teenage boy but I found the language hard to follow, the sheer amount of characters unnecessary, and the love story not very lovely at all. I understand from the background information that this was actually Tarttelin's first book and it does show. This would be a skip for me, but definitely pick up a copy of Golden Boy if you can - it is well worth the read - even if Flick fell short for me.
Goodreads Rating: 2 stars
