Beta Rick
"A refreshing approach to the Ware genre.
Well planned & well executed. A decent length that you can actually sink your teeth in to!
As a result, there's very good character development. An interesting FLC & so too the MLC. Both have their flaws and different life experiences, which makes for relatable, multi-layered central Lead Characters & the length also allows for their peripheral close friends to be further developed than perhaps is usual. This is a good aspect of the novel as it makes it more interesting and well rounded, plus it provides room for more complex real life issues, such as grief, transitioning toward adulthood and subsequent responsibilities and decision making. Mental health concerns make an appearance too, along with bullying, feelings of aloneness and actions and consequences (to name a few!).
Well written & much better edited than the majority of books 'Beta Rick' is well worth the read. Great job 👏! "
