Brian Peterson has a sharp talent for 'telling it like it is'. He created characters who were well developed and interesting. His portrayal of the leading male Tony, gave the reader a glimpse of one who was struggling to stay true to himself despite examples and pressures from peers, family and life itself. While reading Move Over Girl, I felt like I was absorbed in the mind of a young brother who was coming of age. Tony made decisions that we all have had to at some point in life. His dialogue and emotions were well written and revealed a man who was was thoughtfully facing life instead of hiding behind his fears and inhibitions. After reading Move Over Girl, I reflected on the story's outcome and felt satisfied that Tony's patience and honesty had led him to a happy outcome! I eagerly await Mr. Peterson's next work!
