        			An endearing first novel (ELLE)Beautifully written in precise, poetic prose that successfully evokes the love of like for like (OBSERVER)I have been looking forward to seeing Ali Smith's novel since reading FREE LOVE and I have not been disappointed. I've thoroughly enjoyed the book, I love Ali Smith's prose - clear and lucid and at the same time full of little quirks and subtleties that make hers an individual voice. Not only was the novel beautifully written but it was fascinating reading (Kate Atkinson)This impressive debut novel... is full of subtleties and surprises (SUNDAY TIMES)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Beautifully flawed and better for it
  

*by E***D on 15 September 2015*









  
  
    A wonderful, meandering stream of prose that captures life in all of its intricacies - from the observations of the seemingly mundane details of day-to-day life, as seen through the eyes of a young girl, to the dangerous obsessions of a young woman in love.Whilst some people may have issues with the apparent loose ends in the narrative, to me, this serves to make the book more poignant and meaningful. As with the relationships of the characters in the book; life isn't perfect and is full of unresolved stories and significances that can only be half guessed at. There is no single version of events and our memories are flawed. This is no more true than in the interactions between two people, where each person brings different histories, prejudices and expectations to the party.I am a fan of The Accidental but found There But For The, also by Ali Smith, harder work. This book had me hooked, however, particularly in the second half when the story of Ash held a light to some (although not all)  of the events in the first half of the book, whilst brilliantly depicting the beauty and vulnerability of childhood and adolescence.Reminds me very much of A Sense Of An Ending by Julian Barnes for the lack of, what might be considered, a comprehensive and traditional ending but therein lies the beauty of this book.

    Ready for Like
  

*by S***D on 11 March 2015*









  
  
    This is my second copy. I gave up the first time when the POV changes half-way through; I didn't get on with the second character. Now, having read How to be Both, which employs the same device, I was ready for Like.  I'm a big fan of Ali Smith, I have re-read Hotel World and The Accidental several times.  I didn't enjoy Like as much. That said, I'm growing to love it.
