Exley by Brock Clarke

4.0

From the start, the two main characters show that they are both untrustworthy narrators, making for a story that must be read with a massive grain of salt. The teenage boy Miller believes that his dad is in Iraq (instead of just abandoning them as his mom says) so his mom takes him to see a therapist, who has his own delusions. Both Miller and the therapist grow as people as the novel progresses, despite all of their quirky mishaps and adventures. While bounded by seriousness and what it means to be a family, this novel is more lighthearted than I expected and at times goofy fun.
