The June Boys by Court Stevens
3.0
I was really excited to read this book - it sounded creepy and I’m always ready to read about a serial-whatever (in this case, kidnapper).
This execution made this a bit tough to read, the writing is sometimes hard to follow, and most of the main characters are just… there. They have no personality that I could discern, and their relationships with each other don’t feel super real. Tank and Aulus are honestly the best part of this novel, and the driving force of this novel, so their lack of page time is disappointing and, honestly, probably a mistake.
The end was satisfying, but also a bit off putting for spoilery, but personal, reasons. Maybe I’ll get into those later.
