Fragile Beasts by Tawni O'Dell
5.0
Tawni O'Dell is incredibly talented. I loved this book! It was well-written with interesting characters (Candace Jack is hysterical in a Dowager Countess sort of way).
Having never been a teenage boy, I'm not sure Kyle and Klint were completely realistic, but I felt like they could be--they had enough similarities to teenage boys I've known that the characters worked.
I was able to predict the two things about Klint that cause Kyle to worry (although Kyle doesn't know at the time why he was worried, just that something seemed wrong with his brother), but that is probably more related to how much I read (and how much I read about writing), than any sort of plotting shortcoming.
I was surprised to see, because I have never seen this before, but sometimes the same character would have more than one POV chapter in a row.
