A review by kategci
Stay by Catherine Ryan Hyde

3.0

3.5. Read this for book cub and going in, I thought I would hate it. I had a hard time putting it down. This is Lucas' coming of age story set in 1969 when he is 14 and his parents are constantly screaming at each other. His older brother is fighting in Viet Nam and his best friend Connor is slowly becoming a recluse. Catherine Ryan Hyde wrote this story so well and though I think the boys discussed their feelings too much for the era, ultimately, it is a great book club selection.
