Boys Don't Cry by Fíona Scarlett
5.0
If you choose to read a book this year, let it be this one.
Those boys will stay with me for a long time.
A short yet emotional and powerful read.
We follow two boys. Brothers. Joe and Finn.
Both good lads, trying to do the right thing as they navigate their way through childhood/teenage life. Doing their best, making choices that feel right, that seem necessary.
Now this is a hard book to review, I don't want to put in spoilers as that would tarnish the impact that this story provides.
What I will say that it is utterly moving.
Authentic, honest, raw.
I'd be surprised if anyone could read it without tearing up even just a little.
There is tragedy held within the pages.
Simple, genuine and touching. I felt every single word that I read.
Fiona has created a piece of literature that for me is unforgettable.
