Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt
2.0
"If my life was a movie, I would've walked out by now." There I've just saved you reading time because that is the best part of this book.
Absentee parents, obsession confused with love, and weird takes on human relationships abound here. Brunt says she is an organic writer and the story just takes her places. These are places I wished she'd spent more time honing here. The concept is interesting, the title is impactful but the book itself is a disappointment. Also the romantic love of June for her uncle is a little disturbing in spots particularly since he and his boyfriend are aware of it and encourage it.
It's good to write stories about uncomfortable subjects. I applaud her for trying but something was missing here.
