Review: Heather - G.C McKay - December 2020 This was an interesting read as the blurb grabbed me and I had the idea it was going to be a rather edgy age-gap romance as the main female character is only 14 and then the main male character Michael is 35. However, it went deeper than I imagined as the book is written like a confessional and expose - all Michael's cards are on the table. The book is written from his perspective. Michael works in a coffee shop with what I can guess are females aged between 18- 30's. The one he is on most with is Seraphina who is 18 but seems pretty naive. Michael often flirts with her but when he sees Heather and Freya, we can see he likes his girls a bit younger - 14 to be exact. This book touches on Michael who in a way is a predator as he starts to have a secret sordid affair with Heather who started as a customer with her parents at the coffee shop. Heather is very promiscuous and a sexual person as we watch her go fluidly between Michael and...
