River Boy by Tim Bowler

4.0

Holy hell this was an experience. I reread this after 5 years and it made me feel all the feelings. I read it in one sitting and I loved it. I’ve read some of Tim Bowlers other works and I couldn’t help but feel this was quite similar to Frozen Fire with the whole concept of teenage girl, entranced by a mystery boy connected to her past. I did however like how calm the story was in comparison. This book didn’t try to shock you, it wasn’t going for the wow factor it was just a sweet story of a girl and her grandpa. I cried so hard while finishing this. 4 stars.
