    4.0 out of 5 stars fun... realistic
    Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2020
    Georgie, Alfie, Ellie and Aimee have been friends forever. But things change pretty abruptly when George and Ellie split up. They’ve been a couple for years – first love, and George is devastated by the loss. To make matters worse, George is convinced that Ellie had sex with Jack the bartender… in part because she suddenly has a tattoo on the small of her back that matches the one on Jack’s knuckles.

    George and Jack’s lives are brought back together again when George’s Dad and Jack’s Uncle meet at a fair. It turns out that the two older men have been friends and haven’t seen each other in years. The more time George and jack spend together, the closer they become.

    This isn’t a straightforward story thought. There’s a lot going on in each of these character’s lives. Jack struggles with the fact that he was abandoned by his mother when he was young. She has rejected him once but he’s determined to find her again… determined to find the family he has always wanted. Living in care hasn’t been easy for Jack. He had an abusive “brother” named Cole who is an addict and shows up in Jack’s life from time to time. Cole leaves a trail of destruction behind him, always leaving Jack to pick up the pieces.

    George is reeling from the loss of his girlfriend. Even though he's young he's convinced that he's never going to find another person to love. As his friends become embroiled in their own challenges... George interprets that as no one wanting him in their life. He begins to drown his sorrows in alcohol. Oddly enough, it's his time spent with Jack that seems to light a spark in him again.

    I really thought that these characters were great. Despite the fact that there was a lot of lost going on in everyone's lives... the drama seemed realistic to me. People can get truly lost in their own issues and come out the other end realizing that they haven't "been there" for their friends. The loss faced by everyone in this novel is different: loss of family, loss of a family member due to death, loss of a relationship, loss of home and safety. And what's remarkable is that each character deals with it in a different way.

    The fact that there is also a sweet, slow, and caring relationship developing between the two main characters is a plus! Oh and let's not forget George's family. His Nan may be one of my favorite characters EVER! Long live Pam! Her humor and comic timing brought a softer edge to the heaviness of some of the topics in this story.

    Great read!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good ending, just took a looooooong time to get there.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2020
    With a good ending and characters that made me feel conflicted, there were some great aspects to the story that other readers obviously really enjoyed. My enjoyment was a bit less however, because there was just too much conflict that felt forced, enhanced, and prolonged far beyond what was necessary. It's like the fighting became the focus instead of the changes in the individuals and their relationship. I didn't dislike the story, but I can't honestly say I loved it either.

    George was so juvenile and whiny and immature and reactionary all. The. Time. The first few pages were interesting because we could see someone who is young but clearly struggling with where life seemed to be taking him, his girlfriend, his friends, and then there was the slightly baffling interest in the young tattooed man across from him in the train. There was a great start, but very quickly it was snuffed out by the rest of his pouting, lamenting, pining, and general ornery sullenness. Combine that with his disrespect, drunken behavior, and the incessant moping and I was so very over him. Only later in the story, much, much, much later, did he start to turn around and with the new softness that Jack brought out in him I could finally see some potential for him and them together. Of course it wasn't something that lasted in the face of his all-too-frequent freakouts.

    But thank goodness for a great grandmother. She was pretty much the star of the book and I was incredibly interested in Aimee, but she kept getting shunted to the side with all of George's intentional avoidance of anything positive in his life for so long. Without them I'd probably have skimmed a lot more of the story than I did.

    The real conundrum was Jack. He had an incredibly interesting and complicated past that bled profusely into his present and his situation was vastly more interesting than George's. Except we didn't really get much of that. His character was much more problematic and traumatic and the processing of all of that with the requisite healing that needed to happen for him to embrace some kind of future with George was so slow coming that I wasn't sure it would ever happen.

    The course and transformation should have been the focus of both sides of the story, but we got mired in all the awful before the switch came, and when it did it happened too quickly to be truly believable. The moment itself wasn't a bad one, it's just that it wasn't developed into something really transformative, something real and the mark of something that would build a foundation meant to last. They were both still so young and getting their actual romance in nearly the end of the story wasn't satisfying enough. So while their story wasn't bad, it was far too focused on the angst and wasn't given enough time to develop into something positive and loving enough to balance the heartache they both faced.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Well done
    Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2020
    This is a coming of age story with an enemies to lovers trope that I love. It's not often that I read YA books, but then it's not often I run across one that sounds as good as this one. A Bit of Me doesn't just sound like it'll be a good read, it is a good read. It's about coming out, about figuring out what you want and going after it. It's about finding yourself in those impressionable years.

    Kent Lowe tells a lovely story with diverse characters who aren't always sure where they fit into the world, but they learn and grow and love together and it's sweet. Something that everyone needs to read because we can all relate in some way or another.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A good premise, but not for me.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2020
    It took me a long while to get into this book, especially because it was hard to connect with George and find anything sympathetic about him. He senses his girlfriend, Ellie, has changed since she started college and is pulling away from him, but he justifies it in his mind. Maybe that's because he's young, but he knows somethings off. Then Ellie breaks up with him and he thinks she hooked up with Jack. He can't seem to get over the relationship and his suspicions, even though she broke up with him, and his attitude makes me cringe. Jack is a character I like, but more times than not, he's overshadowed by George's behavior. By the time he stops blaming Jack, there isn't really a character arc where he realizes his mistakes, he's just over it. Other than a few charming secondary characters, and the potential of growing as a character and exploring through his relationship with Jack, George comes of as whiny and a jerk.

    I rarely review anything but I have just finished work and had to finish this book. It’s now 01:40 and I have work tomorrow ooops. It’s had me gripped so much so that I’ve abandoned my family 😉 I don’t know where to start. The weirdo in me loves the cover of the book. It just feels lovely and the paper has that perfect book feel to it. The story is great. It’s so heart warming and I found myself in turmoil at times for Jack and George. It is a great story of love and heartache and a bit of self discovery that we all have when growing up.
    I saw a review below that commented on grammatical errors and I’m not sure what book they were reading??!
    I really hope there is more to come from this author as his book was definitely “A bit of me”. Highly recommend you giving this book a read. You won’t regret it.

    A Bit Of Me took me back to my youth, not only with the jokes that kept me laughing out loud throughout but the story of how two young people meet. From the very first chapter I was engrossed in the story and felt like I knew all of the characters already. My heart broke for both George and Jack and I found myself yelling at them both to open their eyes. I could not put this book down from the moment I picked it up and truly wish it never ended.

    The emotional journey of heartbreak, friendship and love, gripping from start to end, a simply fantastic read. I hope there's more from Kent Lowe and his loveable and rateable characters, you feel like you're a part of their circle and you want to see how they develop further.
    I spent a day in the garden reading this book which is totally unheard of for me. Lovely setting to read such a warming tale with a glass of wine!
    I would highly recommend this book!

    A beautiful and captivating read. Jack and George are both so different, but the kind of characters that everyone can relate to in some way. So many of their encounters brought back memories, the kind everyone growing up in Essex and London has! The ending is exactly what I needed it to be. It's truly a book that everyone needs to read.
    A moving start to a story I hope will continue. I'm not ready to say goodbye to Jack and George!

    When I first started reading this, I felt as if I'd been thrown onto the set of, The Only Way is Essex! Apart from that, I was soon drawn into the story. Jack was an absolute doll, he was so insecure, had no real friends, and was still trying to please the bastards who'd thrown him away. I just wanted to hug him all the way through.

    Now George, I personally wanted to smack upside of the head. He totally needed to get over himself, which he admits later in the book. I don't want to give anything away, but I felt that his stupidity (in my mind), went on too long. It got a little tiresome. This is why I rated 4 instead of 5 stars.

    One thing I really liked about the story was that it seems to reflect a number of young people's attitude to sex. The whole 'love is love' theme really came through. I really liked this book, (think those who are not from the UK might struggle with the colloquialisms though). I've never read a book by this author before, but will be looking forward to future books.
