At least there wasn’t any horror, just gross scenes.

A book I should have read when I was 17, but glad I’m reading at 27. Glad I haven’t seen the movie, and glad I got out of my hometown. An ode to the fleeting grey area when you change from a kid to a teenager. To middle school friends who never saw each other again. I got arrested the summer after freshman year with a guy that I would’ve died for that I haven’t seen since, and I’m the better for it. A good book that feels more mature that it ought to be, but without the maturity of 11 year olds, it would be nothing.

I wish there was more, I didn’t want it to end. The Body sucked me in from the beginning.

Deeply nostalgic in a somewhat happy way, but more so in a reflective, mournful way. A coming of age story where the threshold between adolescence and manhood is explored. There is something to be said and discourse to be had about the idea that they were walking towards a dead body. In a figurative way, they were all walking towards death. I would have to read it again to really pick up on some of the deeper themes, but I defs vibe with this book.
