'Lifegaze' tells the story of two boys, Tyler and Dylan. They are best friends and we follow them through their lifes, as they try to figure out who they are and what the meaning of their lives is.

This is one of those stories that can be destroyed by bad character development. Good thing the characters are developed well. The story depicts pretty realistic issues and also nails the good and realistic friendship between the two boys. I can say the same about Dylan's relationship with his sister Dani, so well done!

The only thing I could object to is one big issue Tyler will deal/is dealing with, but I don't want to spoil. Author can probably figure out what is, but it's a minor issue, don't worry too much about it. It doesn't bother me, it's just a little over-the-top compared to the rest I've seen.

The GPS is fine, the story doesn't need a lot of editing.

One last thing I like is Tyler (and maybe in the future, Dylan) occasionally writing letters to life. It keeps the story an interesting varation and gives us a better idea of the characters. I like it.

If you want to read a fairly realistic, slice-of-life story, this book is the one for you!
