Copperhead by Alexi Zentner

3.0

I really appreciate what the author was trying to do, but it just seemed overly contrived with each character designed so that we could arrive a certain conclusion. His father (or significantly his stepfather), his girlfriend, his girlfriend’s father (the coach), his friend, and even the police were all written in a way to sit snugly into the plot, and sometimes that presented ambiguities left unanswered. Despite those minor points, it was a worthy attempt at dealing with a difficult topic.
