JANUARY BOOK CLUB: I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning
Welcome to 250 Pages, the book club where we only read short, compulsive, page-turning books... under 250 pages
Five friends. Five lives. Countless hopes.
Patrick, Shiv, Rian, Oli and Conor grew up together. They played together, skipped school together, and dreamt of everything they'd do with their lives.
Now they are thirty, and only Rian has made it out of the estate and moved away to another city, but his money doesn't stop him clinging to a vision of the past that is quickly slipping away. Oli is fading by the day, drinking and snorting his way through the endless boredom, while Conor has a baby on the way and a business plan he hopes will change everything. Patrick and Shiv are as in love as ever, but even they are rocked when an old secret opens up new wounds...
"As painful as a punch and as tender as the bruise that follows"
"A devastating exploration of the relationships that bind us, and the places that always call us back."
