Wolfsong by TJ Klune

5.0

"And then he was all standing there and he didn’t see me at first because I’m getting so good at hunting. I was all like rawr and grr but then I smelled it again and it was him and it was all kaboom! I don’t even know! I don’t even know! You gotta smell him and then tell me why it’s all candy canes and pinecones and epic and awesome." - Joe Bennett

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/ 5 stars

By far, the easiest #5starrating I have ever given.

This book was perfect from start to finish.

Narrated in a #firstpersonPOV the book focuses on the collision of the real world with the supernatural forces.

The #MMC #OxMatherson is a regular boy who's father's words leave him doubting himself all his life. Enter our second #MMC #JoeBennett who's past plagues him and leaves him with so much of trauma.

I loved how these two bonded. Their friendship turns into something much more powerful over the years all of which is so intricately described.

One can quite literally feel the growth of the characters and it's written in a way that you can relate to.

I fell in love with the storyline, the world building, the main characters, the side characters and the tropes ( #Agegap , #WerewolfXHuman , #LGBTQ+rep #foundfamily , #smalltownromance to name a few)

There is something so special when you know a character so deeply. Their trauma, emotions and feelings become all your own. What they go through, the changes in their life and their losses become all yours and it's just one of the many magical things about reading.

I laughed, cried, got angry and faced down a multitude of emotions in the 28 hours it took me to read this book but this too goes to the list of books I will forever recommend ❤️

And now excuse me while I go try to cure the #bookhangover
