A review by meredith_w
Behind You by Catherine Hernandez

dark emotional reflective fast-paced

3.5

I read this quickly - despite it's difficult and dark subject matter, this was very readable.  In 'Behind You', Hernandez does a great job depicting what it must have felt like living through a particularly fearful and unsettling time of Toronto's past.  I appreciated how Hernandez highlighted how women and girls were impacted differently than men (and boys).  At times, the writing and messaging felt heavy-handed (similar to how I felt reading Hernandez's sophomore novel 'Crosshairs').  I loved Hernandez's debut novel 'Scarborough', and I've yet to find that magic in her follow-up books.
