Beautifully written and the imagery is amazing. It made me feel the sticky heat so intensely. I loved the scenes from the boys perspective but unfortunately I didn’t much enjoy the fathers. I think it would have been better if it had all been from the boy. I really wanted to love this book and the story about a relationship between father and son.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review

thought i'd pick this up on the whim. I seek for these themes in novels about mother-daughter relationships, so why not try my hand at father-son ones?
