Of Foster Homes and Flies by Chad Lutzke
5.0
Shining a light in a dark place
I had zero expectations going into this book, and I think that's the best way to go. This is a different kind of horror story; one about repressed grief, loneliness, uncertainty, and absent parents. But it's also a heartfelt tale of one young boy finding hope, gratitude, and friendship in his darkest moments. I don't want to say much more for fear of spoiling anything.
I love coming-of-age stories and this one was fantastic! It's short (about an hour read), but it will stay with you long after you're done. This is my first time reading Chad Lutzke and I can't wait to dig into his other works!
