A Ladder to the Sky by John Boyne

4.0

I was so ready to dive into this book from John Boyne, one of my 2019 favorite authors, but it was much less likeable, overall, than The Heart's Invisible Furies. Maurice is conniving and ambitious and has zero redeeming qualities whatsoever. He needs a Maurice Swift kick to the balls. In my opinion. But then, he'd find a way to avenge himself on you, and you definitely don't want that.
