Boo by Neil Smith

5.0

Absolutely fantastic. I had the opportunity to hear Neil Smith talk about it during the Vancouver Writers Fest, bought it immediately, and devoured it. It's clever and imaginative, and managed to keep you constantly off-balance. It'd also been a while since I'd read a book with such a strong emotional journey for the characters--I tend to read a lot of literary fiction, where the emotional changes are a really slow burn. But the emotions in this hit fast, hard, and are always genuine. Easily one of my favourite books I've read this year.
