A review by judyapneeb
Boys In the Valley by Philip Fracassi

dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

Any book that ends with me in my car, crying as I'm trying to navigate through LA traffic, is a winner to me. That ending punched me in the gut. I honestly think this could have been longer as the characters were engaging and I would have loved to spend more time with these boys.
