Here's what readers have to say about this book....
A real page turner. Reading 'My Two Lives' didn't take long; the novel is fast-paced and full of adventure. At the outset, the narrative and theme of the story is intriguing. Unlike any other novel I've read, I was curious as to how the different narrative would develop and ultimately end. I certainly wasn't disappointment, I'm usually a slow reader but the closer I got to the end, the quicker I read. What impresses me most about this novel is how apparent the author's own experiences have contributed to the content. The book visits specific locations throughout the world, and uses these as a backdrop to develop characterisation. The author is also not shy to delve into difficult topics such as mental health; It's apparent they have researched their topic well. Another positive takeaway from reading this book was the humour found in the dialogue between characters. The characters are rich and their personalities are distinct and life-like. The author also employs terms not necessarily found in your average novel; the term 'Bed hair' is something that I can certainly relate to and I found myself laughing throughout the novel. 'My Two Lives' is a book i'd certainly recommend. Its humour, expansive geography and clever narrative add up to an engrossing novel that I thoroughly enjoyed reading.
