The Year of Ice by Brian Malloy

4.0

a hard read. protag is not super likable (but also like, closeted teenager with Other Issues. it's not the writing that makes him unlikable, it's mostly his trauma getting tangled with what is actually a sweet personality) but i did feel for him

tw period-typical homophobia, alcohol, (maybe?) suicide, car accidents, parental death
