A review by judyapneeb
Boys In the Valley by Philip Fracassi

dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

Any book that ends with me in my car, crying as I'm trying to navigate through LA traffic, is a winner to me. That ending punched me in the gut. I honestly think this could have been longer as the characters were engaging and I would have loved to spend more time with these boys.
