Dark Room Etiquette by Robin Roe

5.0

WOW!!!! This book was absolutely PHENOMENAL!!

I went into this book with no expectations. All I knew is it was a YA book about a 16 year old boy who gets kidnapped. Which isn’t what I normally gravitate towards. But, to my surprise It BLEW ME AWAY!

Before Sayers was kidnapped I despised his character. My first thoughts were wow this kid is a self absorbed rich a-hole.

The psychology trauma this boy goes through is gut-wrenching. I can’t really say much without giving away the story… but it will have you on the tip of your toes trying to figure out what happens next.

The story is not only about the kidnapping but also life after.. trying to get back to a normal life after going through the unimaginable. The main characters transformation was chilling. My heart broke so many times while reading this story.

I absolutely loved it, this book deserves all the stars!!!
