Well, that was…disappointing if I’m honest. I lost interest halfway through and had to push myself to continue. It picked up in the second half, which is a testament to caring for the characters. It was the storytelling that was lacking. Each boy had something big happening in his life, but it kept leading up to it, then switching POV, and later recalling what happened in the interim from the perspective of days, weeks, or months past that point. I wanted to see them do the things!
