“Ray Ryan” is a coming of age tale, of a boy in Nottingham, England.  Whose mom passes away right in front of him. But wait, it gets even FUNNIER!  (I'm kidding, obviously).  Ray Ryan has aspirations of being a writer when he grows up. This book wouldn't be interesting at all if everything went great for him, however, so the “coming-of-age” portion has him dealing with many different hardships, peppered with some uplifting points.This book is a very thoughtful and emotional story, which is exactly what you want from a coming of age story.  It is a really well paced, and very well written book, especially if you take into account the fact that this book is Aiden Riley's first novel!  I read this quicker than I was expecting to, I was so invested in seeing how the characters stories played out.Overall, I enjoyed the book, and will be on the lookout for Aiden's next projects!
