Self-Portrait with Boy by Rachel Lyon

5.0

Really original novel with a very distinct and interesting narrator's voice. I really liked the pacing of the book too, and I thought the author did a great job making the narrator's central conundrum believable. I maybe could have done without the supernatural elements, but they weren't overly distracting and did add to the ominous mood. I may be stretching a bit with the 5 rating, but what the hell, it's my birthday and I'm feeling magnanimous.
