Forgive Me, Alex by Lane Diamond
5.0
So, I came across this author, his name is Lane Diamond and boy can he tell a story. Forgive Me, Alex is the story of loss, growth, hope, despair, grief, and revenge. I was captivated by Lane's story telling.
Tony has seen and experienced things no young teen should ever have to. After the tragic death of his mother, he basically has to play dad to his younger brother, when their father turns to the bottle. hank goodness for the help and guidance of Frank Willow,Tony and Alex's (his younger brother) surrogate grandfather. Senior Skip Day starts the ball rolling on the unimaginable. Mitchell Norton has his eye on his "angel",Diana, who also happens to be Tony's girlfriend and love of his life. Norton must have her, no matter what the cost.
The story takes you on a whirlwind journey between two time periods, 1978, when Norton begins his road to destruction, and 1995, when Norton is released from prison. Tony has lots of demons to face from past and present and refuses to let Norton get away with his reign of terror anymore.
Lane gets you into the head of the characters and you feel this bond with them urging you to read faster to find out what happens next. You know you are reading a great book when you need to stop reading but keep telling yourself just one more chapter, then one more leads to half the book. I felt so bad for Tony and all his loss. I wanted to murder Mitchell Norton myself. I wish I knew old Frank personally. I was caught off guard by the ending and can't wait for the next book! Well done!
