Review of Well Wishes (2015) by Lee M — 14 Nov 2016

Though clearly heartfelt, the narrative lands too softly, in part because Miles' journey doesn't feel like a huge leap. When we first meet him he's misguided, having settled for material and emotional comforts.

But his sincerity and good nature are never in doubt. And the story's ultimate surprise isn't likely to surprise anyone, undercutting the intended impact of Boyd's points about appearance-based assumptions and narrow definitions of success.
