The Borrower by Rebecca Makkai
3.0
Fun read of a librarian and a 10 year old boy road trip. Meek librarian is horrified by her favorite patron, a young gay boy whose evangelical parents forbid him to read what he wants and be who he is. After she finds him hiding in the library one morning they hit the road.
This was a fun tale with chapter openings told in classic children book formats. However I expected to love this book after all the great reviews and I was merely pleased. I thought the writing would be more sophisticated and the characters more interesting.
Still was fun.
