REVIEWS
“
Will Freshwater's writing style thoroughly belies the fact that this is a first novel---he tells his story with the measured hand of a seasoned pro. It's not easy coming up with a main character that you alternately want to root for AND to kick in the ass, but he pulls it off effortlessly. Oh, yeah---in addition to making you want to run out and try something you've never had the guts to do before, "Favorite Son" is also so achingly romantic, you may be acutely embarrassed to find out what a cynic you're not.
“
An engrossing read from start to finish. “Favorite Son” explores the concepts of duality, identity and self-discovery as John Wells leaves his political world in Washington DC for a quieter life in Provincetown. It’s a familiar theme but with its sharp prose and multi-dimensional characters, this well-crafted story feels new all over again.

Freshwater does what so few writers are able to do. Some have a great story and need a lesson in how to write. Some write beautifully but struggle with knowing how to craft a story. In Favorite Son, Will Freshwater does both.
