Brooklyn, Burning by Steve Brezenoff

3.0

This was a sweet little story. I don't generally read realistic fiction, and if it had been longer I'm not sure it would have held my attention, but I liked the characters and the setting enough to stick with it for a novella. The prose was fresh, if a little sappy at times, but teenagers are allowed to be. I did feel the pacing was a bit off--big emotional moments seemed to happen and be over super quickly, while the more in-between rambling scenes dragged out a lot. But overall I enjoyed it.
