Saving Marty by Paul Griffin

3.0

The tone of this book kind of caught me off-guard. It's a little...self-referential? Ish? Or...like, it jumps right into what's going on without a lot of setup or explanation, and that felt weird to me. It kept that same tone the whole way through, which was kind of cool because it was like we were part of Renzo's thoughts and he didn't need to explain anything to himself, but then also -- like when your friend says "oh, YOU know," and you're happy to be included but actually you don't know, so you're still in the dark but don't want to ask what they meant and then lose that sense of trust/inclusion? If that makes sense at all!

Anyway. It was a cute-enough story.
