Golden Boy by Abigail Tarttelin
5.0

Wow. This book was just... wow. I seriously cannot describe everything I felt and thought about while reading this. It was a real rollercoaster that surprised me in every way.

It's definitely not intended for young readers who are not mature enough to deal with such serious themes (there's a huge TRIGGER for rape and sexual harassment in general in this book, so be aware of that!!!!) but it's definitely poignant for more mature young readers and also adult readers. I absolutely loved the family dynamics here, and the shifting PoVs enriched the story beautifully. It's also a very educative book about very important stuff that is not talked about enough! In many many ways, I am glad I read this, and I hope it will stick with me for a long time.
