Henry Hamlet's Heart by Rhiannon Wilde
4.0
3.5 Stars
Henry Hamlet’s Heart is an entertaining coming of age novel that explores finding yourself, trauma, first love, and first heartbreak. Overall, I had mixed views while reading this book. The story was very enjoyable, but it left me wanting more in a few spots, namely the ending. It ended a bit too abruptly for me, but I also understand what the author was going for.
The relationship between Len and Henry were adorable and heartbreaking at times. It felt very real, and I enjoyed their playful banter. Their journey from friends to lover was a bit of a slow burn, and I personally wish it went a little bit faster and fleshed out.
This is a very enjoyable, quick YA read, and I would definitely recommend it! It might not have been exactly what I was expecting, but I still think it is worth giving a chance! I look forward to seeing what the Rhiannon Wilde has in store for the future!
Thank you for the eARC Netgalley and Charlesbridge!
