“Feels like an unfortunate step backwards – Safe by Ryan Gattis

"It’s a shame to have to say this when All Involved was among our favourites of 2015, but Gattis falls well short of his previous novel with Safe. Maybe, had it been a book by a writer I had never heard of, I would have recognised its merits more. It is well written and (mostly) pacey. But for Gattis it feels like an unfortunate step backwards. Still, he has shown his quality on more than one occasion and – if he can dial back the sentimental stuff – he will surely do so again. Here’s hoping for better next time..." - Fran Slater reviews Safe by Ryan Gattis
