Suki Fleet's Reviews > Caught Inside

Beautifully written and engaging coming of age tale. The setting was wonderful and the writing really shone in evoking a real feel of the Cornish coast and the sea. I could really imagine being with Luke on his board out on the waves, and I love that sort of sensory imagery.

I loved that Theo had secrets and I desperately wanted to know what had happened in his previous relationship—this was a really interesting and well thought out subplot!

The ending was realistic and satisfying, and I’m really glad things turned out as they did, and that Luke had time to get over himself a wee bit, shall we say ;)

Every character was relatable—their flaws and weaknesses very much so—but (view spoiler)[the cheating--I found it hard to forgive both characters for the way they acted. What made Theo fall so hard for Luke (and vice versa) that he couldn’t help kissing him and starting an illicit relationship wasn’t clear to me. Luke did redeem himself somewhat by the end and I did feel for him, but even though both he and Theo professed to care deeply about Zara, they didn’t show it in their actions. (hide spoiler)]

Before I started reading I had no idea what the title meant, but it's very apt :)
