I love Matt Cain's books so I had to get this book (and at only £1, why wouldn't you anyway?). It tells the story of Tom Horrocks, who plays football for Toddington FC, and Cosmo Roberts, a journalist. When they meet they really hit it off, but Tom is very firmly in the closet and Cosmo is openly gay. Knowing what the world of football is like, Tom is afraid of coming out.
Despite being a short book, Game On is a fully rounded story that I enjoyed reading very much. It tackles (excuse the pun) a difficult issue in an uplifting way and towards the conclusion I was feeling quite tense for the characters and hoping they would be able to work out all the problems they were facing. Doing so in the full glare of the public eye is really challenging for Tom and I was so pleased with the way the story ended. I spotted a mention for another of Cain's much-loved characters which was a lovely surprise and which made me smile, just like this whole book did.
Game On is a feel-good story which is full of Matt Cain's inimitable joy and enthusiasm shining through on every page.… (más)
