How to Stop time- Matt Haig- 5*  

Matt has a beautiful writing style. One that sits you down, makes you put your feet up with a cup of coffee and then envelopes you in it’s warmth. Gentle, beautiful words to give vivid descriptions of characters and places that wrap themselves around you to put you in the picture. Tom is anageric- he ages slowly. He has lived for hundreds of years and he is rather tired of it all. Of the deception, of not being able to put down roots in case his “secret” is discovered and of not being able to love because that would cause too many problems. A beautifully written book with a wonderful main character. Almost a philosophical tale. Wonderful storytelling to enjoy. I voluntarily chose to read this ARC and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.
