The blurb:

On a street in a town in the North of England, ordinary people are going through the motions of their everyday existence. A young man is in love with a neighbour who does not even know his name. An old couple make their way up to the nearby bus stop. But then a terrible event shatters the quiet of the early summer evening.
------------

I really enjoyed the original style and structure of this book, but found the end to be a bit of an anti-climax.

Happily received and many thanks :) I love the book label, though you could also substitute Geordie Shore as a book throws itself off the Tyne Bridge.

Reading this felt like a narrator was looking over my shoulder or that i was listening to it on an audio recording. It didn't flow very well for me...the attention to detail was excellent and the story played out right in front of you as much of it is written in the present tense.
Passing along for a wishlist
