Boys of the Beast by Monica Zepeda

4.0

This is the stuff we need to smash that toxic masculinity and allow boys to connect and be actually real with each other, to be vulnerable, supportive, and honest. I loved going along for this journey and I appreciate that we don't have three perfect "flawed" kids - no, we've got kids dealing with some real issues like drug use, identity, defying parents, and more. I just really connected with the characters and genuinely wanted a happy ending for them. I love to see it and I hope this book does well - it's a hidden treasure of a road trip novel.
