Boys In the Valley by Philip Fracassi
4.5
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: Complicated

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.
