Review: Thoroughly Impressed

Writing effectively and convincingly in the first person is not easily done. I was immediately taken with the author's style and ability to make the narration natural and comfortable to read. I am not a fan of baseball and was prepared for my eyes to gloss over when it came to discussion of the sport. Instead I was pleased with how Chris, the narrator, approached his relationship to it and what it meant to him. The author deftly presents the all too common scenario these days of a family caught between a rock and a hard place financially. Though there's no easy, happy ending, there's hope. I don't think this story missed a beat or hit a sour note and I was sorry when it ended, wishing for more. Well done, Miss Gormley! Thank you!
