The Taking of Jake Livingston by Ryan Douglass
adventurous
dark
tense
medium-paced
4.0
quick read, I enjoyed the duo point of views between Sawyer and Jake. Sometimes the atmosphere and the way things were explained was confusing which I didn’t like, but it did a good job and keeping the story eerie and engaging, I think this would be an amazing film adaptation. The story, discusses, micro aggressions, racism, abuse, sexual assault, school shootings, so definitely check the trigger warnings before reading it, but it was an amazing read. Would definitely recommend
Graphic: Child abuse, Homophobia, and Mass/school shootings
Moderate: Racism, Sexual assault, and Suicide attempt
