In the Wild Light by Jeff Zentner

5.0

Such a beautiful book. A coming of age love story, with a backdrop of opioid addiction, hardship, poverty, and death. Two young people, Delaney and Cash, grow up in difficult circumstances, but they have the chance to escape to be in an elite boarding school. Once there, Cash finds that he has an unexpected gift for poetry, nurtured by a special teacher. A great YA novel, and one to have on your shelves.
