(January 2017)
The first book of the year gets 2017 off to a
mixed start. On the one hand, this garnered a fair amount of praise and I can
see why: it's well written, thoughtfully plotted, and the characters are only
too believable. But on the other, it also served to remind me that coming of
age stories really aren't my cup of tea at all. If I were less of a middle-aged
curmudgeon I'd be able to praise this for more that its technical execution,
but as it stands I'll just say that if pig-headed and self-obsessed teenagers
are what floats your boat then you could do a lot worse than this.
